Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 lb Cod or white fish fillets
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 small Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce (shredded)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 4 each Lime wedges
- 1 each Avocado (sliced, optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a marinade.
Add the shrimp and cod pieces to the bowl, tossing to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cod to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the seafood is fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 10-20 seconds per side to make them pliable.
To assemble each taco, begin by layering shredded romaine lettuce on a warm tortilla. Top with a portion of cooked seafood.
Add a few pieces of halved cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of Caesar dressing.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and, if desired, a couple of slices of avocado. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Repeat the process for all tortillas and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Caesar Seafood Tacos!
