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!

Garlic-Lime Shrimp Tacos

After a very busy week full of either the hubby or me being gone over dinner, it was nice to sit down and eat together.  I didn't feel like going "all out", but definitely wanted it to show I put some thought into it.  Then I remembered this dish, so simple, quick and delicious.  Just keep in mind how quickly shrimp cooks (2-3 minutes), so make sure you have all the items ready before you even put the shrimp in the skillet.

Here's what you'll need:
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used frozen)
1 TBSP butter
1 TBSP olive oil
juice and zest of 1 lime
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
tortillas, for serving

Combine butter and oil in medium-sized skillet.  Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper.

Add lime juice, zest and garlic.

When the shrimp turn pink, they're cooked.

Toss with cilantro and serve, immediately, in small tortillas with salsa or green taco sauce.  Serves 2.

Enjoy!
