Method

Preparation

Prep the Ingredients

Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if not already prepared. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Chop the Vegetables

Dice the yellow onion and tomatoes into small pieces. Chop the cilantro finely and set aside.

Prepare the Lime

Cut the limes in half and set them aside for serving.

Cooking

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

Assemble the Tacos

Place a portion of the cooked shrimp onto each tortilla. Top with diced onions, tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

Serve

Serve the tacos with lime halves on the side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
