Tacos de Camarones al Mojo de Ajo
We highly recommend using fresh 21/25 shrimp per pound. When cut in
half, this size shrimp is ideally dispersed between pieces of sauteed
onion, jalapeno, and garlic.

1/4 cup canola oil
1 white onion, sliced
1-1/2 pounds shrimp, (21/25 count) peeled, deveined, & split lengthwise
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 jalapeno chile,thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, stemmed and chopped
16 (50inch) fresh corn tortillas
1 lime, cut into wedges

METHOD

Preheat skillet or griddle over medium heat for tortillas.

Heat a separate large saute pan or skillet over high heat. Add oil and
onion and quickly stir 2 to 3 times. Immediately add shrimp and a few
pinches salt and saute for 1 to 1-/2 minutes, until shrimp begin to turn
red. Add butter, jalapeno, and garlic and saute for 1 minute as butter
begins to melt and garlic releases its aroma. Adjust seasoning with
salt if necessary and continue to stir for about 30 seconds; the whole
cooking process for shrimp should be no longer than 3 minutes. Stir in
parsley and remove pan from heat. Shrimp should be tender, garlic
aromatic, and onions and jalapenos crisp to the bite.

Working in batches as necessary, warm both sides of the tortillas in
preheated skillet. Place them in stack of 2 on individual plates or a
platter, so that each taco ends up with a double layer of tortilla.
Evenly divide the filling among the 8 stacks, and serve immediately with
lime wedges.

Dang, I hate recipes. Go with what you like, get a spice taste just a tiny finger tip. if ya like it put a bit more than the other... Here ya go TRY cumin, coriander, CHILI POWDER( give it twice as much as the others), pepper, and make salt 5%ish of your food... a big pinch for a pound. toss your seasonings in with some small cut pork or beef(or both my fav) turn it on high with a few tablespoons 4-5 of oil corn/veg/canola and keep it moving every couple mins. put into a tortilla with cilantro, sour cream, cheese, salsa whatever you like DO IT! you may create a phenomenon. OH and if its too confusing hit me up Ill help walk you through everything.
