His victory was fueled by a surge of nationalism in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive rhetoric and trade policies.

Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Salsa

 

Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 small shallot, roughly chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 corn tortillas


Directions: 

  1. Begin by making the avocado salsa. Combine the shallot, jalapeño pepper, and garlic in a food processor and process until finely minced. Add the mixture to a bowl along with the avocado, tomato, salt, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine.

  2. Next, prepare the shrimp by combining it with the olive oil, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Toss until evenly combined.

  3. Grill the shrimp over medium heat. If you’re worried your shrimp will slip through, you can always thread them on skewers or just cook them indoors in a skillet. Either way, be careful not to overcook them — they only need a minute or two per side.

  4. Finally, heat the tortillas on the grill or in the microwave, and assemble the tacos with all the fixings.
