Ingredients
- 1 lb. large size shrimp peeled and deveined (or tofu or chicken)
- 2-3 Tbs. high heat cooking oil like avocado or non-GMO canola
- 1/4- 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter or substitute another nut butter and do not add oil-see note in intro
- 2 cups shredded cabbage and carrots or lettuce
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1/2 cup cooked or canned black beans rinsed
- salsa gluten free
- guacamole or sliced avocado
- taco shells or gluten-free flour tortillas
- fresh cilantro optional
Instructions
- Prepare shrimp by thawing or peeling.
- Gather remaining topping ingredients and warm taco shells according to package directions.
- Lightly oil a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Depending on whether your pan is non-stick, you will need more or less oil; the goal is only to lightly coat the surface of the pan. Sprinkle peanut butter powder to lightly cover the oil and immediately lay shrimp on top of the powder, covering as much of the pan as possible. Sprinkle more powder on top of the shrimp.
- Watch for the bottoms of the shrimp to turn pink, then turn with a fork. If the cooked side of the shrimp is not lightly coated with peanut butter powder, sprinkle more powder on top. Cook only 1 minute more, or until shrimp is no longer transparent. It is easy to over-cook shrimp, so monitor closely; cook time will vary with the size of the shrimp and the type of pan you are using.
- Repeat the oil, peanut butter powder, shrimp, peanut powder layering with any remaining shrimp.
- Serve while warm, by filling taco shells or gluten-free flour tortillas with your choice of additions like cabbage, carrots, tomato, black beans, salsa and/or guacamole.
- Serves 4.
