Chile lime tacos are so simple to make! Sprinkled with lime and a quick homemade spice mix then grilled to perfection! This is one of our favorite copycat recipes and a great weeknight dinner.
Clean and shell and devein the shrimp, rinse thoroughly, pat dry.
Mix together the spices. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp then season shrimp with the spice mix.
Preheat the grill.
Place shrimp on hot grill grates. Brush side two with some melted butter and sprinkle with seasoning.
Depending on the size of your shrimp it will take 2-3 minutes per side. Shrimp cooks quickly! Flip after you see light charring on side one and grill for another 2-3 minutes until browned on side two, basting with butter.
Quickly grill the tortillas, like the shrimp it will only take a minute or two per side.
Remove from grill and prepare your tacos with your favorite fixin's! Serve additional warm corn or flour tortillas on the side.
Top with your favorite fixings - coleslaw, avocado slices, mexican crema and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Restaurant style tacos start with the tortillas. Be sure to grill them. The char adds a ton of flavor and is so delicious. Rounding out the meals with black beans and rice makes for a complete fiesta!
