Description

Savor the taste of blackened jumbo shrimp, a dish that brings together bold flavors and satisfying textures. Each shrimp is generously coated with a blend of southwestern spices, creating a delectable, slightly charred crust that seals in the natural sweetness. The blackened seasoning infuses a smoky, savory note, enhanced by hints of warmth and subtle heat.

Imagine sinking your teeth into these succulent shrimp, their firm yet tender flesh giving way to an explosion of zesty flavors. The blackened crust offers a delightful textural contrast, providing a satisfying crunch that complements the shrimp's inherent juiciness. Served atop a bed of crisp, refreshing lettuce, this dish offers a cool counterpoint to the warm, spiced shrimp.

The lettuce provides a clean, palate-cleansing base, allowing the shrimp's flavors to truly shine. Add juicy, ripe tomatoes for a burst of sweetness and acidity that balances the richness of the shrimp. Their soft texture and bright color enhance the overall appeal of the dish.

Creamy avocado slices lend a luxurious touch, their smooth, buttery texture contrasting beautifully with the other ingredients. The avocado's mild, nutty flavor complements the spice blend, adding depth and complexity to every bite. The combination of warm shrimp, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado creates a symphony of textures and temperatures that is both invigorating and satisfying.

To elevate the experience, consider adding a drizzle of your preferred hot sauce to ignite a tantalizing heat that awakens the taste buds. Other toppings can also be added, from crisp bell peppers to pickled onions.

Instructions

    1.
    Peel and devein the raw jumbo shrimp. In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with all the southwestern seasonings until evenly coated.
    2.
    Heat avocado oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned shrimp in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
    3.
    Cook the shrimp until both sides develop a blackened edge, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip the shrimp, then pour in the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning, aiming for a nicely blackened crust.
    4.
    Remove the blackened shrimp from the stove and let them cool slightly. While they cool, prepare your taco bowl by tearing the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and placing them in the base of your serving dish. Top with halved grape tomatoes and sliced avocado.
    5.
    Top your prepared taco bowl with the blackened shrimp. Garnish with your favorite hot sauce for a kick and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor.
