Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and paprika until completely combined.
  • Add shrimp then toss to coat. Allow shrimp to marinate in spice mixture for at least 30 minutes while you preheat grill to medium heat. If desired, the shrimp can marinate as long as overnight.
  • Lightly oil grill grates then cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side depending on size, or until pink, opaque and firm.
  • Remove from grill and heap into tortillas. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over the shrimp and fill with all of your favorite taco accompaniments.
