Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and chili powder. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until needed.

  3. Skewer 3 ounces of shrimp on each skewer.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt (optional) and pepper. Brush the shrimp with the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and just firm. Continue to brush with the marinade while grilling, using all of the marinade.

  5. Heat the corn tortillas briefly on the grill. Remove the shrimp from one skewer and place in a tortilla. Top the shrimp with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, a heaping tablespoon of the reserved yogurt sauce, and 2 tablespoons of salsa verde, and about 2 teaspoons cheese. Repeat for the remaining three tacos.
