Ingredients
- 3 tbs Unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup onion diced or sliced thin
- 3-4 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 large serrano pepper minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 roma tomatoes diced
- 1 large poblano previously roasted and diced
- 2 pound uncooked shrimp cleaned and chopped or you canleave whole
- 2-3 key limes
- 8 6 inch corn Tortillas
- 16 ounces Chihuahua, Oaxaca or jack cheese shredded
- Salsa Verde your favorite recipe
Instructions
Directions
- Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a skillet and heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic and serrano. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the tomato and poblano to the skillet. Again, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the shrimp, juice of 1 key lime and another pinch of salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining key limes for garnish.Cook just until shrimp turns pink. Remove from heat and reserved covered.
- On a preheated nonstick griddle or skillet at medium heat, add 2 oz of shredded cheese. Once cheese begins to melt, lay a corn tortilla on top of each cheese mound. After 35-40 seconds, flip the tortillas with browned cheese over. To each tortilla with cheese, spoon in 4 shrimp with some of the sauce.
- Using a spatula, fold over like a taco and continue cooking. The oils from the cheese will coat the tortillas a little. Continue cooking until desired crispiness of tacos. Serve right away with your favorite salsa verde recipe.
Notes
Not only for tacos gobernador, this shrimp recipe is delicious served over rice or pasta. If you want to reduce your carb intake, use lettuce leaves to prepare tacos. Tasty!
