Grilled Blackened Shrimp Tacos

Give juicy shrimp tacos a Cajun flavor spin with spices and a quick sear on a hot grill. An easy avocado mash adds creaminess to cool off the spicy kick.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons salt-free cajun spice blend
  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ cup prepared pico de gallo

Directions:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Add lime juice, garlic and salt and stir to combine.
  3. Pat shrimp dry. Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl. Thread onto four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers. Grill, turning once, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
  4. Serve the shrimp in tortillas, topped with the guacamole, lettuce, cilantro and pico de gallo.
