Seafood & Seasoning

  • Clean shrimp. (remove shell, head, legs, de-vein) wash, set aside in medium bowl along with cod.
  • In small bowl incorporate cayenne pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Whisk until well incorporated.
  • Preheat your grill to about 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're using an oven preheat it to 400-425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once that's done you'll place your fish in a baking dish and using a grilling brush to evenly coat your fish and shrimp with the wet rub mixture.
  • Cook your fish fillet on one side for three minutes, flip, and cook for an additional three minutes. For shrimp cook on either side for about 2 1/2 minutes. (If using a grill, we recommend using a cast iron attachment of the cod.) If using an oven, place seafood in baking dish and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Finally, you're ready to assemble! Pile all of these delicious ingredients onto your choice of tortilla, not excluding our avocado tequila lime drizzle, and enjoy! :)
