Let's not waste any more time and jump right into the recipe:

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound large raw shrimp (tail-off, peeled, deveined)
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. butter
• Lemon juice (half a lemon)
• 1 fresno pepper

Spice

• 1 1/2 tbsp. paprika powder
• 1 tbsp. chili flakes
• Salt and pepper

Serve with

• 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese
• 1 large tomato (chopped with small cubes)
• 1 onion (chopped with small cubes)
• 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
• Lemon (cut into 4 equal parts)
• Low carb taco tortillas

Instructions

1. Put thawed shrimp in a bowl and add all the spices (except chili flakes). Mix them gently and set aside.
2. Chop garlic cloves into extra-thin slices or grate them. Chop 1 tbsp of parsley and the Fresno pepper into small cubes.
3. Heat a pan and add olive oil. Add the shrimp one by one and fry both sides. Make sure you don't overcook them because they'll continue cooking during the rest of the process.
4. Remove the shrimp from the pan and add the garlic to the same oil.
5. Fry the minced garlic and add chili flakes, frying them together without burning them.
6. Add butter and mix well while frying. Then, add salt and lemon juice. Let them fry together until the sauce thickens.
7. Add the fried shrimp to the sauce and cook them together. Finally, add 1 tbsp of chopped parsley.
8. Place the "Serve with" ingredients in separate bowls and use them to make shrimp tacos.

Do You Have Guests Who Can’t Eat Spicy Food?

Don’t worry, you can still serve them delicious shrimp tacos without losing your spicy kick. You only need to add one extra step while cooking.

Fresno peppers give the dish its heat. Instead of adding them to the sauce, chop the peppers and serve them on the side with the other taco ingredients. This way, spicy lovers can add them to their tacos to increase the heat.
