• Around 20 shrimp 
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder  
• flour tortilla shells 
• optional: 1 avocado
• optional: banana peppers  

• 1 mango 
• 1/2 red onion 
• 1/2 red pepper

1. Shrimp: In a medium pan, on low-medium heat, begin by melting your butter. As the butter melts, prep your shrimp by peeling and deveining them. Add your shrimp to the butter and add garlic powder, ground cumin, and chili powder. Fry until fully cooked.  
2. Salsa: Finely chop your mango, red onion, red pepper, and jalapenos, and add into a medium bowl. Mix in the cilantro, lime juice, maple syrup, and spices. Cover and set aside. 
3. Sauce: In a blender, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, garlic, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth adjusting the flavour as you please.  
4. Assemble: Fry your flour tortilla in a hot pan for a couple minutes on both sides until toasted. Once warm, add a layer of salsa and the shrimp. Add your choice of toppings; in this recipe we added chunks of avocado and banana peppers. To finish your taco, top it with your sauce and extra cilantro!
