As the sun casts its golden glow over your backyard, the glistening waters of your NAMCO Pool invite you for a dip. But what’s a perfect pool day without mouthwatering bites to complement those blissful splashes? Today, we’re diving into a scrumptious summer delight: Grilled Shrimp Tacos!


Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
The juice of 1 lime
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt to taste
8 small tortillas
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup pico de gallo
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions:

Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Whisk it until well mixed.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each one is lovingly coated. Let the flavors marry for about 15 minutes while you prep your toppings and fire up your grill (or grill pan on the stove).
Grill ’Em Up: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. A little oil can prevent sticking if you’re using a grill pan.
Once the grill is hot, lay the shrimp down and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. They’ll turn a beautiful blush pink, letting you know they’re done.
Assemble Your Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
Lay the tortillas on a platter and place a handful of shredded lettuce on each.
Arrange your grilled shrimp on the lettuce; they should be the star of the show.
Spoon the fresh pico de gallo over the shrimp. The colors will remind you of a summer sunset.
A dollop of sour cream is the final touch, like the smooth, creamy peak on a wave.
Set the table on your patio furniture, perhaps one right beside your NAMCO pool. Let the gentle evening breeze cool off the day’s warmth while the aroma of spicy shrimp fills the air. Pair with a chilled glass of your favorite beverage, and let the feast begin!


So when the sun sets and the pool lights come on, gather around with your loved ones and toast to the joys of summer with this delicious offering from your backyard kitchen. And remember, for all things pool and patio-related, from accessories to maintenance essentials, NAMCO Pools is your go-to destination, ready to make every splash and every bite count!


Happy summer and a chuparse los dedos!
