These garlicky shrimp tacos are your guaranteed-to-please comida solution when you want to serve a hungry crowd \u2014 rapidito. That\u2019s why they\u2019re a go-to weeknight dinner at the home of one of our favorite Mexican-food cocinera abuelas Anjie Villalobos<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tacos de camaron are also an easy favorite for Lent<\/a> Fridays, if you\u2019re looking for meatless recipe inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, shrimp tacos are one of those meals that make people happy (unless someone has a seafood allergy, like one of her daughters,” says Anjie, joking, “it’s a travesty.”). Otherwise, you\u2019re good to go, she promises: “Everybody loves shrimp tacos.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all: these tacos come together quickly. In just about 30 minutes, dinner is on the table. “It\u2019s easy, it\u2019s fast, it\u2019s healthy and it\u2019s delicious. I make these at least once a week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have all the garnishes on hand, no problem, she adds. These tacos are endlessly adaptable. \u201dMy shrimp tacos recipe varies from day to day, depending on what I have in the fridge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key to their deliciousness: mucho ajo. “Oh, yeah,” Anjie smiles. “Garlic is key. I use lots and lots of garlic in these. I also do half butter, half olive oil. That\u2019s something I do a lot in my cooking. I used to use one or the other, but I found that it really adds a nice flavor when you mix them. Using the half-and-half combination makes the shrimp absolutely delicious\u2014with lots and lots of garlic, of course!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you have the extra 15 minutes, she recommends serving them on homemade corn tortillas (see Anjie\u2019s step-by-step corn tortillas how-to, here<\/a>). \u201dTraditionally, they are served on corn, but I know plenty of people who like their shrimp tacos with flour tortillas. I definitely like mine better on corn, though.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
