Ingredients:

For the Shrimp:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp chili powder

• ½ tsp cumin

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• ½ cup Burnt Orange Salsa

For the Avocado Crema:

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted and scooped

• ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp lime juice

• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)

• Salt to taste

For Assembly:

• 8-12 small corn or flour tortillas

• Optional toppings: shredded cabbage, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, sliced radishes, extra Burnt Orange Salsa, lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.

3. Add the Salsa: Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the ½ cup of Burnt Orange Salsa with the cooked shrimp. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the salsa to warm through. Remove from heat.

4. Make the Avocado Crema: Combine the avocado, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic (if using) in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

5. Warm Tortillas: Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, microwave, or over an open flame until pliable.

6. Assemble Tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with a generous spoonful of the salsa-coated shrimp. Drizzle with avocado crema and top with your favorite optional garnishes like shredded cabbage, cilantro, or a slice of radish.

7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Burnt Orange Salsa Shrimp Tacos!
