1

Start with 2 lbs of cleaned and dried jumbo shrimp.

2

Mince the shrimp using a knife until finely chopped and place in a bowl.

3

In another bowl, prepare a cilantro lime sauce by blending 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, half a bunch of cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and 2 jalapenos.

4

Chop half of a yellow onion and 3 small jalapenos, then add them to the minced shrimp along with half a bunch of cilantro.

5

Season the mixture with O seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

6

Add 1 tablespoon of low carb flour to the shrimp mixture and mix until it forms a paste.

7

If not using immediately, refrigerate the shrimp mixture until ready.

8

Dampen a paper towel and place 4 low carb corn tortillas inside, covering them, and heat in the microwave for about 40 seconds.

9

Remove one tortilla at a time, place a spoonful of the shrimp mixture in the center, fold over, and press to seal.

10

Heat avocado oil in a skillet until hot, then carefully place the folded tortillas in the oil to fry until golden brown, flipping carefully as needed.

11

Prepare a rack to drain the fried tacos and remove them from the oil once golden brown.

12

Serve with hot salsa and sour cream, and garnish with sliced cherry tomatoes.
