Cajun Shrimp Tacos are a deliciously quick spicy shrimp taco recipe with corn and avocado salsa and a sweet and spicy yogurt sauce. The best part is your tacos will be ready in 15 minutes or less!
Thaw and rinse shrimp in a colander. Heat oil on medium high in a skillet. Add shrimp and season well with cajun spice seasoning. Cook, stirring and flipping periodically for 5-7 minutes or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
Put rinsed corn, minced onion, chopped cilantro, juiced lime, and salt to taste in a medium bowl and mix together.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cayenne (if desired)
( if using only one skillet, do this step first!) in skillet: heat corn tortillas on a dry skillet on medium high until slightly hardened. About 2-3 minutes
In the oven: preheat oven to 400F and place corn tortillas on a plain baking pan for 4 minutes remove from heat and let stand on the pan for one minute.
Notes
*hint: Do not get the corn tortilla too hard or it may break and won’t fold properly. If too soft, it may fall apart when introduced to sauce or wet/warm food. The idea is to warm it enough to slightly harden, where it can still fold nicely!
