Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 2 pounds Shrimp
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 ½ Limes Should be about 2 ounces
  • 2 Ounces Tequila
  • ½ Cup Radish About 6 Radishes
  • ½ Cup Cilantro
  • 12 Corn Tortillas Extra Thin Tortillas or flour tortillas

Sour Cream Sauce - OPTIONAL

  • 4 Tablespoon Fat-Free Sour Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • Hot Sauce Few Dashes
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Pinch Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ Teaspoon Lime juice

Instructions

Shrimp

  • Peel and clean Shrimp. See our tip on cleaning Shrimp.
  • Toss shrimp in cumin
  • Mix together the marinade: In a bowl combine ½ cup cilantro, juice from 1 ½ limes (about 2 ounces), 2 ounces Tequila
  • Pour Marinade over the Shrimp. We have found 10 minutes in the refrigerator is long enough to marinate the Shrimp. It will start to cook if you leave it on for more than 15 minutes.
  • Shred Radishes
    Coarsely chop ½ cup cilantro
  • Grill shrimp until opaque and a little “white” in color and completely cooked through

Sour Cream Sauce

  • Mix together sour cream, 1 teaspoon cayenne, a few dashes of hot sauce, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, a pinch of salt, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon lime juice

Serve Tacos

  • Everyone can pick their favorite toppings
  • Don't Forget the Margarita!!!
