Instructions
Mix marinade ingredients together. In a separate bowl or zip-close bag, pour enough marinade to just cover cleaned shrimp. Refrigerate and allow shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Store remaining marinade covered in the refrigerator.
While shrimp marinates, soak wooden skewers if grilling.
In a small bowl, make pico by combining diced tomato, onion, jalapeno, lime juice, and fresh cilantro and salt. Set aside.
In a small container, combine Greek yogurt and lime juice. Refrigerate.
Once shrimp have marinated, thread onto skewers and grill. Place on pre-heated grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Shrimp can also be sauteed in a skillet or baked.
Assemble tacos by adding spinach, shrimp, pico, cheese, and sauce. We also like additional cilantro and fresh avocado on our tacos.
