Ingredients

1 unit Poblano Pepper
1 unit Red Onion
1 unit Roma Tomato
1 unit Lime
2 tablespoon Sour Cream
1 tablespoon Southwest Spice Blend
10 ounce Shrimp
6 unit Flour Tortillas
4 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
¼ teaspoon Sugar
Salt
Pepper

Method

1
• Wash and dry all produce. • Zest and quarter lime (for 4 servings, zest 1 lime and quarter both). Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; finely dice a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Finely dice tomato. Halve, core, and slice poblano into ¼-inch-thick strips.
2
• Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. • In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, Southwest Spice, and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside.
3
• In a second medium bowl, combine diced onion, tomato, half the lime zest, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
4
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream with remaining lime zest. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.
5
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add poblano, sliced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Add a large drizzle of oil and shrimp to pan. Cook until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Stir in juice from remaining lime wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
6
• Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds. • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with shrimp and veggie filling. Top with pico de gallo and crema. Serve.
