So tonight I was craving something easy, healthy, and something with bold flavor! This awesome dish was so simple and so quick to make. It's definitely in the 30 minute meal category. Plus, only 233 calories per serving. Awesome sauce!!
Ingredients
Avocado Salsa:
1 small onion, quartered
1 jalapeƱo, quartered, seeds optional
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 cup salsa verde pre-made
1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
Salt to taste
1 small onion, quartered
1 jalapeƱo, quartered, seeds optional
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 cup salsa verde pre-made
1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
Salt to taste
Shrimp:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 of a packet of Citrus Herb mix
1 pound of medium shrimp, peeled and devices
8 corn tortillas
10 sprigs of cilantro for garnish
2 limes, cut into wedges
1/2 of a packet of Citrus Herb mix
1 pound of medium shrimp, peeled and devices
8 corn tortillas
10 sprigs of cilantro for garnish
2 limes, cut into wedges
Directions
Alright..so put the onions, jalapeƱos, and garlic in a food processor and finely chop. But if you're old school like me, you can just chop it finely with your awesome chopping knife :) Next, mash up the avocados with a fork in a bowl, add the onions, jalapenos, garlic, and the salsa verde. And salt to taste.

Now to the shrimpies! Heat your stove top to medium-high. Mix the olive oil and the citrus herb mix in a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. You have the option to let it marinate for 20 minutes, which I did, however if your tight on time go ahead and cook those babies until transluscent. About 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
Lastly, the corn tortillas. Various options- grab 8 paper towels and damp them with water. Alternatively, wrap tortillas and pop them in the microwave. If you're a grill guru you can lay them on the grill for 20 seconds each side. If you want to keep them nice and moist then wrap them in damp paper towels and put them in a big zip lock bag. Up to you. Grab a corn tortilla, spoon a generous amount of avocado salsa verde, add your shrimpies, a couple sprigs of cilantro, and for an added bonus you can add a little quesco fresco on top. And that's it. Happy eating!!
