• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (use a single packet or measure from bottle)
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (regular sweet paprika)
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion Granules (dry onion powder)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (juice of half a lime)
• 1 small Jalapeño (finely chopped, seeds removed for milder heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
• 2 sticks Unsalted Butter (cut into cubes; about 1 cup total)

Instructions

1. Prepare Shrimp Marinade

   In a mixing bowl combine the raw shrimp, garlic oil, liquid smoke, soy sauce, paprika, onion granules, black pepper, lime juice, chopped jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.

   Time: PT10M

2. Melt Butter and Sauté Aromatics

   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter cubes and let them melt completely. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 3‑4 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium heat

3. Cook the Shrimp

   Add the coated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook another 3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are just opaque.

   Time: PT6M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

4. Warm the Tortillas

   While the shrimp finish cooking, place the cheesy tortillas in a clean dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until warm and slightly toasted.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium heat

5. Assemble the Tacos

   Place 2‑3 shrimp pieces onto each warm tortilla. Drizzle with green chalula hot sauce, add a spoonful of guacamole or salsa if desired, and garnish with extra cilantro or jalapeño slices.
