Grilled Blackened Shrimp Tacos
Give juicy shrimp tacos a Cajun flavor spin with spices and a quick sear on a hot grill. An easy avocado mash adds creaminess to cool off the spicy kick.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 small clove garlic, grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons salt-free cajun spice blend
- 8 corn tortillas, warmed
- 2 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ cup prepared pico de gallo
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Add lime juice, garlic and salt and stir to combine.
- Pat shrimp dry. Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl. Thread onto four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers. Grill, turning once, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
- Serve the shrimp in tortillas, topped with the guacamole, lettuce, cilantro and pico de gallo.
