Vegan shrimp tacos are such a wonderful diversion from the regular beef or chik’n variety, and so easy to make.
4–6 crispy taco shells
1 can refried beans
1 package of vegetarian shrimp (we like Loving Hut brand)
Garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste
Your favorite toppings (we like lettuce, tomato, black olives and diced avocado)
Heat the taco shells per package directions, and quite frankly do the same with the beans.
Coat a large saute pan with cooking spray and heat on medium heat. Add the shrimp and toss vigorously with the spices (feel free to add more or less of your favorites! There’s no rule here). Cook on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, mixing often, until the shrimp is fully cooked and a bit seared in places.
Once the shrimp is cooked, it’s time to assemble the tacos! First put a scoop of beans in the bottom of the shell, then top with 2-3 shrimp. Top the taco with your favorite accoutrements and serve with rice, if desired.
