Spicy Shrimp Tacos


Living near the Gulf of Mexico has given me the opportunity to get my hands on some delicious, local shrimp. Seafood tacos are always a hit, and these shrimp tacos have a great savory flavor. Our Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil adds a nice heat and depth to the dish which pairs with the sweetness of the fresh tomato and red onion.

Ingredients:
3/4 lb - 21/25 shrimp, tail removed and deveined
1 Tbsp - Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil
2 - medium tomatoes
1/2 - red onion
8 oz - mushrooms, sliced
1/4 tsp - cumin
1/2 tsp - garlic powder
To taste - salt and black pepper
2 tsp - olive oil
As needed - corn tortillas

Directions:
1. Rinse tomatoes and dice into 1/4" cubes. Remove top and bottom of onion and thinly slice one half. Heat a large frying pan on the stove over medium-medium/high heat. Once hot add the olive oil, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Cook for 6-8 minutes.

2. Add garlic powder, cumin, and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Place shrimp and Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil into the pan and cook until shrimp are cooked throughout (2-4 minutes). Adjust seasoning as needed.

3. Heat tortillas using your favorite method (I like to heat them quickly in a lightly oiled pan).

4. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
