RECIPE: Gluten-Free Blackened Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Crema

What up, Gluten-Free fam?

If you’re anything like me, you know that being GF makes it hard AF to miss out on Taco Tuesday. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ignored my dietary needs simply because I can’t resist some bomb tacos.

Thankfully, there’s a whole line of tortillas and taco shells from Siete that are GF, and also delicious. For this recipe, I used the cassava flour tortillas, and honestly, you can’t even tell they’re grain free. You can thank me later.

GLUTEN-FREE BLACKENED SHRIMP TACOS WITH CILANTRO-LIME CREMA

Ingredients

-1 lb. uncooked shrimp, tail off, peeled and deveined

(PRO TIP: If you’re using the frozen kind, thaw the shrimp before marinating to ensure you end up with a crispy blackened texture when cooking them.)

Roughly chop the cilantro, slice the jalepeno and avocado, shred the cabbage, cut 1/2 the lime into wedges (reserve the other half to juice for the sauce).

Step 3: Cook the shrimp.

In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Arrange shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes each side.

Step 4: Prepare the tortillas.

Heat a griddle on medium-high heat, cooking each tortilla for 10-15 seconds each.

Step 5: Make the Cilantro-Lime Crema.
