Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the blackened seasoning mix in a small bowl.
- Place prepared shrimp in a medium bowl and add the seasoning mix to it. Mix until the shrimp is well coated.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add seasoned shrimp and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the Mango Avocado Salsa. (I recommend that you make it ahead of time, so making these tacos is even quicker.)
- To assemble the tacos, warm tortillas in a microwave for 30 seconds. Place 5 shrimp in the middle of a tortilla, add 2-3 spoonfuls of Mango Avocado Salsa, and top with 1 tablespoon feta cheese. Assemble the rest of the tacos and serve with lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
