Instructions

Heat a skillet over high heat. While skillet is heating, mix shrimp with Taco & Fajita Spice and avocado oil. Stir to combine well.

Using tongs, place shrimp into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and put on a plate until tacos are ready to assemble.

To assemble the tacos: Add a layer of lettuce cups to a plater, and layer 3 to 4 shrimp on each cup. Top with fresh veggies of your choice, drizzle with Avocado Crema and serve with lime wedges.

To Make Avocado Crema:

Add avocado meat, juice of ½ lime, coconut milk, pinch of salt and fresh cilantro to a jar. Alternatively, you can add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth.

Pulse together with an immersion blender until well combined. Set aside until ready to serve.
