Preparation
1
Prep

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Zest and quarter lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Finely dice tomato. Halve, deseed, and slice green pepper into ¼-inch-thick strips.

2
Marinate Shrimp

  • Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

  • In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with Southwest Spice Blend and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside to marinate.

3
Make Pico de Gallo

  • In a second medium bowl, combine minced onion, tomato, half the lime zest, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lime juice to taste (save some for Step 5). Season with salt and pepper.

4
Make Crema

  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream with as much hot sauce as you like. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.

5
Cook Veggies & Shrimp

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, sliced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  • Add another drizzle of oil and shrimp to pan. Cook until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.

  • Stir in remaining lime zest and juice from remaining lime wedges. Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds.

  • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with shrimp and veggies. Top with pico de gallo and crema. Serve.
