Ingredients:
– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Juice of 1 lime
– 8 small flour or corn tortillas
– Toppings: shredded cabbage or lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, salsa, sour cream
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Campfire:
– Start your campfire and allow it to burn down to hot coals or medium-high heat.
2. Marinate the Shrimp:
– In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
– Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Cook the Shrimp:
– Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers if using, or place them in a grill basket or foil packet.
– Place the shrimp skewers or packet directly on the grill grate over the hot coals.
– Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
4. Warm the Tortillas:
– While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas by placing them directly on the grill for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they are lightly charred and pliable.
– Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them near the campfire for a few minutes.
5. Assemble the Tacos:
– Remove the shrimp from the skewers or grill basket and divide them among the warm tortillas.
– Top each taco with shredded cabbage or lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and cilantro.
– Serve with lime wedges, salsa, and sour cream on the side for additional flavor.
Tips:
– Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, and adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
– Customize your tacos with additional toppings such as diced onions, jalapeños, or a squeeze of hot sauce.
– Serve with a side of Mexican rice or grilled corn for a complete campfire meal.
