Learn how to make delicious Honey Lime Shrimp Tacos. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

If you’re looking for substitutions, you can swap out the corn tortillas for flour ones, or use chicken or tofu instead of shrimp for a different twist. The honey can be replaced with agave syrup for a vegan option, and feel free to add jalapeños for extra heat.

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they’re pliable and slightly charred.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing a few shrimp on each tortilla, then top with cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, and feta cheese if using.
  6. Serve immediately, enjoying the vibrant flavors and textures in every bite.

Pro tip: If you’re preparing these for a crowd, keep the shrimp warm in the oven while you finish cooking the rest. This way, everyone can enjoy them hot and fresh, just like my grandma used to do when she hosted family gatherings.
