Ingredients and substitutes

- Shrimp: This recipe calls for raw frozen shrimp, that is fully thawed. We recommend not using pre-cooked shrimp, but if you do coat the shrimp in your seasoning and give it a flash sear in the pan. Be careful not to overcook.
- Olive Oil: Feel free to replace olive oil with your favorite cooking oil. Know that changing the oil may affect the overall taste of your dish.
- Seasoning: You might want to make your own seasoning mix, and we're suer that seasoning blend is SLAMMIN, but since we're making this meal quick and delicious our recipe calls for a pre-made taco seasoning blend.
- Tortillas: We carry flour tortillas and this is what the recipe calls for. Personally, I really love flour tortialls, but if you prefer corn or already have corn on hand feel free to substitute them. Alternatively, although it won't be a taco anymore this recipe will go great on flatbread or, our favorite, RICE.
- Toppings: We recommend using your favorite. Onions, avocado, salsa, tomatoes, sour cream... anything you'd like!

Wikiwiki Shrimp Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 lb. medium shrimp (thawed and peeled)
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 packet of taco seasoning (we love to use the Taco Bell original)
- Equal parts of grarlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin and chili powder (If making one from scratch. About 1/2 tsp. each.)
- 8 medium flour tortillas
Instructions
Prep your shrimp Thaw the shimp, either overnight in the fridge or under cool water until fully thawed. Peel the shells and tails off of the shrimp.
Prep the toppings that you want to use.
For myself, I like to thinly slice red onion, avocado and some cabbage. To those I personally, just toss with salt and lime juice.Toss your shrimp with a little bit of oil and coat generously with your seasonings.
Pre-heat a non-stick pan on medium-high heat.In the pan, or a second pan, warm your tortillas. I like to put a nice char on mine to crisp them up a little bit more, but you can take them to as warm as you'd like.
Add your oil to the pan and follow with your shrimp.
Be sure not to over crowd your pan. Flip the shrimp occasionally and cook until pink (around 5-6 minutes).SERVE!
