My oldest has a summer favorite - fish and shrimp tacos. The two proteins can honestly be used interchangeably with this recipe. But, this recipe is a weekly request when menu planning. Citrus marinated seafood with Calicutts Southwest Taco Spice Blend, topped with fresh mango salsa and an avocado lime crema.
Ingredients

- 1 lb Shrimp

For the Avocado Lime Crema
- 2 Avocados, pits and skins removed
- 1 Clove garlic
- ½ C Sour cream
- ¼ C Cilantro, fresh
- 2 Tbsp Lime juice

-
Combine the juice of your lime and orange with Calicutts Southwest Taco Spice Blend. Add shrimp, stirring to coat, and place I. The refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to marinate.
-
While the shrimp is marinading, make your mango salsa. Place the mango, red onion, jalapeño, bell pepper, and cilantro in a bowl. Stir in lime juice and salt. Set to the side.

Remove your shrimp from the refrigerator and drain excess marinade. Over medium heat, sauté your shrimp in a skillet for about 3-4 minutes, flip and cook on the other side until cooked through.

As shrimp are cooking, place ingredients for the avocado lime crema in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Assemble your taco and enjoy!
