Ingredients
  

Salsa:

  • 1½ tomato
  • ½ onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Shrimp:

  • ½ lb shrimp
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Kinder's Woodfired Garlic Seasoning
  • Salt to taste

For the tacos:

  • Small Tortilla
  • Cheese
  • Thinly sliced lettuce
  • chopped onions
  • Salsa
  • Shrimp
  • Hidden Valley Southwest Chipotle Ranch
  • Whataburger Spicy Ketchup

Instructions
 

For the Salsa:

  • Grill the jalapeno, tomato, onions, and garlic until they're soft. I'm using a George Foreman Electric Grill. Remove from the grill and place in either a mortar and pestle or blender, crush until it resembles salsa. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

For the Shrimp:

  • Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, shrimp, and spices. Sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are thoroughly cooked.

To assemble the tacos:

  • On the same shrimp skillet, add cheese to one side of your tortilla and press it flat against the skillet to melt it. Add your lettuce, chopped onions, salsa, shrimp, a drizzle of ranch and ketchup and you're done! Enjoy!
