Steps
- 01
Slice 1 1/2 onions and two seeded poblanos, mince five garlic cloves, seed and slice two tomatoes, then devein and chunk 680g raw shrimp.
- 02
Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high, add onion and poblano, and soften for about three minutes.
- 03
Stir in garlic for one minute, then add tomatoes and cook for another minute.
- 04
Stir in 3 tbsp chipotle adobo sauce, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tsp Worcestershire, salt and pepper; cook one minute.
- 05
Add shrimp and cook evenly. The creator's 1–2 minutes may be insufficient for thick pieces; continue until all shrimp flesh is pearly and opaque, then transfer immediately to a bowl.
- 06
Warm six tortillas on both sides, one by one, on a separate skillet over low heat, and spread about 1/2 cup cheese on each.
- 07
Once cheese begins to melt, divide shrimp filling into six portions, add to tortillas, fold and toast gently until lightly browned on both sides and cheese fully melts.
- 08
Optionally slice one avocado and distribute among the six tacos. Serve hot and refrigerate any shrimp leftovers within two hours.
