These shrimp tacos are so delish and low in fat. Shrimp is a great non-fat protein and it is lower in price than fish filets like salmon or tuna. Also, the abundance of fresh veggies in this recipe helps you reach your daily intake needs.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb shrimp
3-4 plum tomatoes
1 small red onion
1-2 fresh jalapenos (or you can substitute for jarred jalapenos)
1 clove of garlic
2 cups of lettuce
1 lime
Whole wheat tortillas

Optional: salsa, fat free sour cream, avocado slices, chili powder seasoning

1. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, discarding the seeds, and place into a medium bowl.
2. Chop up the onion and combine with the tomatoes.
3. If using jalapenos (skip them if you prefer a milder version of the recipe and add in a red or green pepper), cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Slice the jalapenos into small pieces and add in with the tomatoes and onion.
4. Chop the garlic clove into small pieces and add to the mixture.
5. Sprinkle the tomato mixture with the juice of the lime. Add salt here if desired and stir to combine.
6. Chop up the lettuce and set aside.
7. Using non-stick spray, like Pam, spray a skillet and add the shrimp. If you desire your shrimp to be a little bit more flavorful or spicy, add some chili powder seasoning. Cook shrimp until no longer pink- about 1-2 minutes per side.
8. Fill a tortilla with lettuce, the tomato mixture and top with shrimp. If using, add in avocado, salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!
