15-Minute Healthy Shrimp Tacos
Add this one to your weeknight dinner lineup
I’m all about making healthy recipes that taste great, but don’t require hours in the kitchen. These healthy shrimp tacos fit the bill; they’re packed with flavor and taste like they took a lot longer than 15 minutes to make. Utilizing pre-chopped ingredients from Trader Joe’s, they’re the perfect throw-together-on-a-weeknight meal that the whole family will love!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

15-MINUTE HEALTHY SHRIMP TACO RECIPE:
Shrimp:
1 lb raw shrimp (if frozen, allow extra time to thaw)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
Taco + Toppings:
1 package tortillas (we use Guerreros, Tortilla Land or Siete, which has awesome almond, cassava, chickpea and cashew flour tortillas)
1 package Trader Joe’s Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix (broccoli, carrots, green cabbage, red cabbage, jicama, green bell pepper, radish & celery)
1 jar Trader Joe’s Pickled Fermented Jalapeno Slices
1 block Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar Cheese (or cheese of your choice), sliced
1 bunch cilantro, sliced
2 limes, sliced
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Combine paprika, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and salt.
Put shrimp in a mixing bowl and rub in seasoning mixture. Make sure the shrimp is coated well.
Add shrimp to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
Remove shrimp from the skillet and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Set aside.
Add the Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix to the skillet and sauté until tender. Add a bit of water, if necessary, to prevent sticking.
Warm tortillas in microwave for 10 seconds or on skillet for 5 seconds per side.
Assemble tacos with shrimp, vegetables, jalapenos, cheese and cilantro and additional lime juice as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
