Southwestern Shrimp Tacos with a Chipotle Honey Lime Sauce

We have been on a shrimp kick lately, and boy am I loving it! So many fun and creative things to do with this most delicious treat! 🙂

This time I decided to pull from my absolute LOVE of Mexican food, but with a little twist…a “southwestern” twist. 🙂

Oh my! Oh my! These were scrumptious!! And the sauce was the extra “oomph” that put these over the top!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound shrimp (I used jumbo)
• Tortillas of your choice (use a gluten free alternative if needed)
• 1 can black beans
• Cilantro
• Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 Avocado
• 1-2 limes
• 1 tsp chipotle seasoning + more to cook on the shrimp
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• Olive oil
• (1 tsp tapioca flour if you desire to thicken the sauce)

Directions:

• Peel and de-vein all the shrimp. Set aside.
• Prepare all your veggies. Wash and chop up the cilantro. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and slice the avocado in smaller pieces.
• Begin preparing the sauce by putting the honey, almond milk, 1 tsp chipotle seasoning, and fresh squeezed lime juice in a saucepan and heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Drain and rinse the black beans and put them in a large skillet on low heat.
• When all of these things are pretty much ready, you can cook the shrimp. It cooks fast, so you want it to be the final thing you do.
• Pour a bit of olive oil in a large skillet, placing the shrimp in it. Sprinkle them with your desired amount of chipotle seasoning and cook until both sides are pink.
• Heat up the tortillas and you are ready to dig in! Enjoy!
