Cedar Planked Citrus Shrimp Tacos

  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 TBS fresh limejuice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 TBS fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ TBS ground cumin
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 lbs. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 or 2 Cedar Grilling Planks, soaked
  • flour tortillas
  • sour cream
  • shredded cheese (prefer queso blanco)
  • Fresh avocado, sliced
  • Assorted salsas

In a medium bowl combine orange juice through salt and pepper and whisk gently. Add shrimp and marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Do not marinate any longer; the citric acids will cook the shrimp. Heat grill to 350-400 degrees, place soaked plank on grill and close lid. When plank begins to lightly smoke and crackle (3-5 minutes) open lid and place shrimp in a single layer on the hot plank. Close lid and cook for approx. 10 minutes until shrimp and pink. Serve shrimp tacos with sour cream, cheese, avocado, and salsa.
