Ingredients
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 1 jalapeno, quartered, seeds optional
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 4 medium tomatillos, (about 8 ounces) husked, rinsed, and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 Hass avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle or blended chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound medium shrimp (about 20), peeled and deveined
- 8 corn tortillas
- 8 sprigs cilantro for garnish
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Put the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and finely chop. Add the tomatillos, avocado, and salt and pulse until chopped but still chunky. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
- Heat a stovetop or outdoor grill to medium-high. Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the shrimp until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
- Grill tortillas, until slightly charred and pliable, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat in a microwave.) Spoon sauce on the tortilla, then top with about 2 or 3 shrimp and a sprig of cilantro. Serve 2 tacos per person, with a lime wedge on the side.

It was so easy, and delicious! Quick and awesome dinner, beautiful to make, even good for guests.
Other than shrimp is there something else? Mike Stice
Huge hit. Whole family loved.
Really tasty, and so simple to make!
Super easy and very tasty!
Me and my girlfriend made this and it was not good the shrimp and the sauce was a horrible combination wont be eating again
I scaled back on the chipotle powder and used a half clove of garlic based on the reviews, which worked out well. The flavor was good but it needed something other than the shrimp and salsa to fill it out. I think I would add shredded cabbage or lettuce next time.
