Fiery Shrimp Tacos

Instructions

1. Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and quickly stir for 20 seconds before tossing in the shrimp. The pan should be hot enough that they sizzle. Sauté for about a minute, flipping halfway, and ensuring they get a bit charred.
2. Add the lime juice, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. (Word of warning: The pepper flakes smoke a lot. Like me, if you’re in a poorly ventilated rental kitchen, have a fan or two on hand!) Mix together and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Nestle 3 spicy shrimps per soft shell tortilla and garnish with whatever your little heart desires. Enjoy!
4. Repeat for dinner, paired with a simple salad or an easy side of Spanish rice, white rice mixed with canned tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
5. If you’re not as much of a heat enthusiast in your food as I am, omit the ‘spicy’ by leaving out the chilli flakes. The garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper combo is delectable enough for the shrimp, and with fresh veggies and cheese piled on top, your taco will be anything but boring!
