Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients
- 01 6 Andouille sausages, chopped or minced
- 02 1.5 pounds shrimp, rough chopped, deveined, shells removed
- 03 SPG rub (Salt, Pepper, Garlic) for seasoning
- 04 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 05 2 green bell peppers, chopped
- 06 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 07 2 jalapeños, diced
- 08 2 yellow onions, chopped
- 09 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 11 8-10 tortillas (flour or corn)
- 12 Avocado Lime Crème for topping
Steps
Step 01
Chop 2 green bell peppers, 1 yellow bell pepper, 2 jalapeños, and 2 yellow onions. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the peppers, jalapeños, and onions. Season with SPG rub and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Set aside to keep warm.
Step 02
Using the same griddle or skillet, add the chopped Andouille sausage to the hot surface. Cook for 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until crispy and charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 03
Season the shrimp with SPG rub and coat lightly with avocado oil. Add them to the griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until pink and opaque throughout. Be careful not to overcook. Once done, return the sausage and vegetables to the griddle.
Step 04
Combine the sausage, shrimp, and sautéed vegetables on the griddle. Toss together and let the flavors meld for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 05
Toast the tortillas on the griddle until lightly crisped. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on each tortilla, then add 3-4 tablespoons of the sausage and shrimp mixture. Top with Avocado Lime Crème. Fold tortillas in half and toast for 2 minutes on each side until crispy and the cheese melts.
Step 06
Remove the tacos from the griddle and serve immediately. Perfect for casual dinners or gatherings.
