Improv Chipotle Shrimp Tacos

We do this every so often and never write it down, so this time I'm writing it down!

Dry rub:
  1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  1 Tbsp chipotle chili powder
 1/4 tsp garlic powder
   1 tsp salt

We only ended up using 1/2 of this.

I rinsed the shrimp, patted them dry on paper towels, then tossed them with half of the above mixture (see photo).  I added a glug (maybe 1-2 Tbsp?) oil, let it heat over medium-high heat, then added shrimp.  Let them cook undisturbed in a single layer for ~2 min.  Then stirred them around for another maybe 2 min until their texture seemed right.

We used trader joe's slaw mix, to which we added a bit of salt, and squeezed 1/4 of a lime.
We use trader joe's half corn half flour tortillas, heated on a skillet (actually Maria's Indian cookware).

We served with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.  Delicious!

oh!  This time I cut up some zuccini which I cooked in the pan after the shrimp with a little extra oil + 1 tsp minced garlic (which I just used our jarred garlic for).  Not sure that garlic really did anything special.  Added a splash of water after a few minutes and let it simmer in that until tender.
