Garlic Shrimp Tacos

Looking for an easy, quick dinner?  This one takes less than 15 minutes, start to finish.  It features shrimp, which cook in mere minutes.  That being said, make sure all your prep is ready before you put them in the pan.


Here's what you'll need:
1 TBSP butter
1 TBSP olive oil
1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and pepper
2 TBSP minced garlic, about 6 cloves
juice of 2 limes
1/2 c chopped fresh cilantro
flour tortillas, to serve
salsa, sour cream and minced jalapenos, to serve


Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.


Add the shrimp to the hot skillet.  Turn when they begin to turn pink, about 1-2 minutes.


Add the lime juice and garlic.  Cook until shrimp are completely pink, about 2 minutes more.


Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.


Serve immediately on flour tortillas with sour cream, salsa and jalapenos.  Makes 4 tacos.


Enjoy!
