Old Bay Mayo

Honey Grilled Shrimp
- ¾ lb Shrimp* tails off, peeled & deveined
- ¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Fresh Cracked Pepper
- ¾ tablespoon Honey
Instructions
- Cook Bacon: Cook your bacon in a skillet on low-medium heat until fat is rendered and bacon is cooked through. Drain on double layered paper towels and set aside. I use one crispy slice per taco.
- While bacon is cooking, Prep Taco Ingredients: Make tomato & avocado mix. Add cut tomatoes, avocado & basil to bowl. Pinch of salt & pepper to taste. Toss and add more salt if youd like. Set aside. Next, make your mayo: Mix ⅓ cup mayo, 1tsp old bay and ½ tbs lemon juice together until combined. Set aside. Season Shrimp: Add shrimp, ¼ teaspoon each of old bay, garlic powder, & pepper, & ¾ tbs honey. Toss to coat shrimp.
- Make Shrimp: If grilling, add shrimp to skewers & preheat grill on high heat. Grill about 2-3 mins on each side. If cast iron cooking, heat pan with 1tbs olive oil and wait until oil is just smoking. Add shrimp & cook 3 minutes. Flip & cook 2-3 mins longer until shrimp is pink & opaque with some nice caramelization. Some shrimp may cook faster than others!
- Assemble: Spread mayo on tortilla, then lettuce, bacon, shrimp & top with tomato avocado mixture. Squeeze with any extra lemon and eat!
Notes
*Make sure any frozen shrimp is thawed. As for substitutions, grilled chicken would be great if you didn't want seafood or had an allergy!
