Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Toss shrimp with chipotle powder, salt, and lime juice. Let sit 5 minutes.
  2. Blend avocado with sour cream and lime juice for the crema.
  3. Dice mango and mix with cilantro, lime, and a pinch of salt for salsa.
  4. Sear shrimp in a hot skillet 2 minutes per side until pink and charred.
  5. Warm tortillas, assemble with shrimp, mango salsa, pickled onion, and crema drizzle.

Timing

Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 14 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
