1garlic clove
½ teaspoonsea salt
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450F.
Step 2
Cut the peppers into chunky slices and place in a large mixing bowl. I used mini peppers because I love the color mix and they have less seeds. You can buy larger bell peppers too and they work!
Step 3
Slice the onion.
Step 4
Then, cut the onion slices in half, making half moons, and place in the mixing bowl.
Step 5
Place your shelled and deveined (buy them this way!!) shrimp in the bowl too.
Step 6
If you want to take the tail off now, it’ll save you some time and mess down the line.
Step 7
Toss the peppers, onions, and shrimp with avocado oil.
Step 8
Then, add the spices and mix it together until everything is well coated.
Step 9
Spread the spiced shrimp mixture out in an even layer on a lined baking pan. Pop it in the oven for 8 minutes.
Step 10
Then, move it to the top shelf of the oven and broil on high for 2 minutes.
Step 11
While the shrimp is cooking, place your avocado, cilantro, lemon juice, avocado oil, garlic, and sea salt in your food processor and process for about 10 seconds.
Step 12
Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and then process again.
Step 13
Totally optional: use a grill pan to toast up your tortillas.
Step 14
If you haven’t done so, remove the tail shells of the shrimp.
Step 15
Finally, assemble the tacos.
Step 16
Scoop some peppers, onions and shrimp into each taco shell.
Step 17
Top with a heaping dollop of avocado cilantro sauce, and any additional cilantro leaves for fun 🙂
