Crispy Baked Shrimp Tacos With Cilantro Lime Sauce
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. Add shrimp to the skillet along with salt, chili powder, cumin, pepper, cilantro and lime. Cook for 3-4 more minutes, tossing occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through.

  4. Warm tortilla shells in microwave for 30-40 seconds. Brush one side of shell with olive oil. Layer each tortilla on one side with cheese, your shrimp mixture (about 3 shrimp per taco) and a little more cheese on top. Fold the other side of the tortilla over your filling and press down gently to make it 'stick.' I recommend putting the tacos on parchment paper to prevent any sticking.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Broil at the end for 2-3 minutes to get a good crisp on the tacos. The tacos should start to brown slightly but not be burnt.

  6. Add all cilantro lime sauce ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth. If you don't have a food processor you can also finely chop the cilantro and garlic and then mix everything by hand.

  7. Serve tacos with sauce and enjoy.
