Shrimp Tacos and Oatmeal Tortillas FMD

Phase 3 | Serves 2 | Prep time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 oz. raw and peeled medium shrimp
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp lemon zest
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• A pinch of cumin
• 1 cup of shredded cabbage (I like to wash the cabbage with water and white vinegar)
• 1 tbsp chopped jalapeño pepper
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• ¼ cup chopped tomato
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp lemon juice
• 1 medium avocado
• ½ tbsp coconut oil

For the oat tortilla

• ½ cup old fashioned oats
• ½ cup water
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

Season the shrimp: in a small bowl mix 1 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of salt, ¼ of tsp of chili powder, 1/8 tsp of black pepper, ½ tsp of lemon zest, ¼ tsp of onion powder and a pinch of cumin, add the shrimp and set aside after mixing.

Tip: To get a better flavor, let them rest for at least 15 minutes.

Put coconut oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the shrimp and cook approximately 3 minutes on each side or until pink and curled.

Tip: Be careful and do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp is all about the texture!

Now we are going to make the tortilla. Put ½ cup of oats in the blender and blend for a few seconds to a powder consistency then add ½ cup of water, 2 egg whites, 1 tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of black pepper and blend for one additional minute.

Put the mixture in medium circles (approximately 4" diameter) in a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook for 2 minutes, flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

In a small bowl mix the onion, tomato, jalapeño (without the seeds), cilantro, ¼ tsp of salt, ¼ tsp of lemon juice.

Cut the avocado into little squares.

Now it's time to build our tacos! Put the oat tortilla, then add cabbage, a few pieces of shrimp, the combination of onion, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro, add the avocado and they are ready! Do not forget to put a little slice of lemon on your plate; it will look pretty and tacos go perfectly with lemon juice.

Note: With a few changes it could be a phase 1 recipe.
Use chicken instead of the shrimp and do not cook it with oil.
Do not add the avocado.
And you can have a bigger tortilla!
