From your shelf
- 1 container [about 10 oz] spicy chunky guacamole
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil

- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add 2 minced garlic cloves and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 12 ounces large shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Flip the shrimp and cook until they are pink and firm throughout, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Wipe out the skillet and warm 8 corn tortillas directly over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side, stacking them on a plate as they warm.
- Lay out the warm tortillas. Divide the shrimp between them, adding 3 to 4 shrimp per taco. Top each with a generous spoonful of guacamole and serve right away.
Note Swap the shrimp for flaked white fish or grilled chicken if you prefer. Leftover shrimp keeps in the fridge for two days. Serve with lime wedges on the side and extra guacamole for those who want it.
