Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Zest, then juice the lime. Thinly slice half the jalapeño into 1/4-inch rounds, removing seeds for less heat, if desired (whole jalapeño for 4 ppl). (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)Finely chop cilantro. Stir together half the lime juice, lime zest, guacamole and half the cilantro in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Add jalapeños, vinegar, 1 tbsp water and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min. Remove the pot from heat. Transfer jalapeños, including liquid, to a small bowl. Place in the fridge to cool.
Meanwhile, whisk together remaining lime juice, remaining cilantro and 1 tbsp oil (dbl 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add spring mix, then toss to combine. Set aside.
Meanwhile, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.**Add shrimp to the bowl with guacamole-lime mixture, then toss to combine.Set aside.
Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)
