Instructions

Here are the step-by-step instructions to make healthy shrimp tacos:

    1. In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the corn kernels to the mixture and toss well to ensure the shrimp and corn are evenly coated with the seasoning.

    1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned shrimp and corn mixture. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are pink and cooked through, ensuring the corn is also cooked but still slightly crispy.

    1. While the shrimp and corn are cooking, warm the whole grain or corn tortillas. You can heat them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds.

    1. Assemble your healthy shrimp tacos by placing a portion of the cooked shrimp and corn mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or light sour cream.

    1. Garnish your tacos with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with salsa on the side if desired. Squeeze a lime wedge over the tacos before indulging for an extra burst of flavor.

    1. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious shrimp tacos with corn as a satisfying meal packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Bon appétit!
