Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Sauce

I love shrimp tacos! I'm not supposed to have them too often since they are highs cholesterol, but they are such a good alternative to chicken or beef. I made them tonight as a special dinner for my friend and served them with an avocado sauce that has been hardcore floating around on Pinterest. I also served my version of Mexican dirty rice which I will post in a separate blog entry.

Ingredients (serves 4):

1 lb of frozen pre-cooked peeled and deveined shrimp (defrosted and diced)

2 Tbl oil

2 cloves garlic

1 medium yellow onion, diced

2 Tbl lemon juice

1/2 cup World Harbors fajita marinade

1/2 cup white wine

1 tsp black pepper

8 small flour tortillas

Diced scallions to top 

Directions:

Heat oil in skillet to medium high and add onions. Cook until soft and add garlic. Add all of the liquid and boil until the wine reduces, about 5 minutes. Turn down to low and add shrimp, salt, and pepper.

We started by spreading the sauce on a warm tortilla, adding the shrimp, and topping with scallions.
