Recipe instructions

Preparing Shrimps

  1. Thaw the Norso blanched shrimp (e.g. in the refrigerator or under cold running water) and then dry them very thoroughly.

  2. Heat a pan with a little olive oil. Sauté the shrimp for 1-2 minutes, until heated through, and season with salt and pepper.

Citrus Salsa

  1. Fillet the grapefruit, removing the skin and membranes. Cut the flesh into smaller pieces.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced ​​grapefruit with the cucumber, carrot, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

  3. Drizzle with lime juice, season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Guacamole

  1. Scoop out the avocado and mash it with a fork into a smooth, but still lumpy paste.

  2. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper. Optionally, add sour cream or yogurt for a creamy consistency.

  3. Transfer the guacamole to a small bowl and garnish with Sriracha sauce, if using.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. Heat the taco shells in the oven or in a dry frying pan according to the instructions on the package.

  2. In each shell put:

    • Lettuce leaf base (optional, for stability).

    • A large portion of Citrus Salsa.

    • 3-4 warm shrimp.

    • A few sprouts (if using) and additional chopped cilantro.

  3. Serve immediately, alongside a bowl of guacamole and any additional sauces.

Chef's Tip:To enhance the flavor of the shrimp, sprinkle them with a little chili flakes and chopped jalapeño after frying. You can also add red cabbage to the tacos for an extra crunch.
