Todd's Quick & Easy Shrimp Tacos on the Blackstone Griddle

Todd fired up the Blackstone Bronco to whip up some bold, flavor-packed shrimp tacos with homemade pickled onions and cilantro lime crema. With a perfect sear on the shrimp and a double layer of toasted corn tortillas, these tacos are built to impress. Shrimp just might be giving chicken a run for its money in his taco rankings!

Ingredients
20 ounces raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail off; thaw if frozen)
Cooking oil
Minced fresh garlic or garlic paste
16–20 corn tortillas (2 per taco)
Mexican crumbling cheese (queso fresco or Cotija)
Hot sauce

For the Pickled Onions (Prepare the Night Before)
½ cup water
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ red onion, thinly sliced

For the Cilantro Lime Crema
1½ cups Mexican crema (or sour cream)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Blackstone Tequila Lime seasoning, or salt to taste

Directions
1. The night before, combine the water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Thinly slice half a red onion and place it in a heat-safe bowl. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions. Let them cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. The next day, preheat your Blackstone griddle to high heat. While the griddle heats, prepare the cilantro lime crema. In a blender, combine the crema, cilantro, lime juice, and either Blackstone Tequila Lime seasoning or salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, then refrigerate until ready to use.

3. In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with a drizzle of cooking oil, minced garlic, and Blackstone Tequila Lime seasoning. Once the griddle is hot, lay the shrimp out in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the first side has a good sear, then flip and sear the other side. Remove the shrimp once fully cooked and lightly charred.

4. Drizzle a small amount of oil onto the griddle and place the corn tortillas down to toast. Let them warm and lightly brown on each side, then remove and set aside.

5. To assemble the tacos, place two tortillas on a plate for each taco. Add a few shrimp to each, followed by some pickled onions, crumbled cheese, a generous drizzle of the cilantro lime crema, and hot sauce to taste. Garnish with additional cilantro or seasoning if desired. If you have one, a Blackstone taco holder makes assembly and serving easier.
