20 Minute Shrimp Tacos

20 minute shrimp tacos

🌮✨

Some days demand that you cook something fast and budget-friendly. I don’t know about you, but I’m about sick of everything and everybody, including these high-ass grocery prices. My nerves are bad. I just need to eat and get on with my life.

That’s why I bought some blue corn tortillas and some shrimp: both usually bougie ingredients that were ON SALE.

Let’s make something simple, low-effort, high-reward that feels just a little fancy without actually doing the most.


🛒 What You’re Working With

For the tacos:

  • Blue corn tortillas
  • Giant shrimp (peeled & deveined)

For the sauce:

  • 2 tbsp Duke’s mayo
  • 1 heaping tsp sour cream
  • ½ avocado
  • 2 tbsp lightly chopped cilantro
  • Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder (to taste)
  • Splash of water (to thin it out)

For the shrimp seasoning:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Drizzle of olive oil

🌀 Make the Sauce (the real main character)

In a food processor, combine:

  • mayo
  • sour cream
  • avocado
  • cilantro
  • seasonings

Blend it up until smooth, then add a little water until it gets that creamy, drizzle-able consistency.

Taste it. Adjust it. Fall in love with it.


🔥 Cook the Shrimp

  • Toss your shrimp with all the seasonings + olive oil
  • Spread them in a baking dish
  • Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, until pink and cooked through

No babysitting. No stress. Just vibes.


🌮 Warm & Assemble

  • Pop your blue corn tortillas in the oven for 2–3 minutes
  • Layer in your shrimp
  • Spoon (or generously smother) with that sauce

And that’s it. No extra drama needed. Watch me make this below and please subscribe + like the video!

  1. This is exactly the kind of recipe I need some days, simple, affordable, and still feels a little elevated. I love how the sauce is really the star here; avocado, mayo, and cilantro sounds so creamy and fresh with the shrimp. And baking the shrimp instead of standing over the stove? Such a win. Definitely adding this to my easy weeknight rotation!
