For the salsa

  • salt and pepper, to taste

For the shrimp

  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ½ lime, juiced

For the tacos

  • 6-8 corn tortillas
  • guacamole, optional
  • queso fresco, optional

Instructions

To make the salsa

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.

To make the shrimp

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
  • Place the shrimp, salt, pepper, taco seasoning, and lime juice in a large zip top bag. Close the bag and shake until all shrimp are covered in seasoning.
  • Place the seasoned shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until shrimp are just cooked through.

To assemble the tacos

  • Fill the tortillas with shrimp and salsa, as well as whatever other toppings you'd like.
