Citrus Shrimp Street Tacos
Charred shrimp tossed in a bright orange-lime marinade, tucked into warm corn tortillas with infused crema. Limonene's natural ally is acidity—these tacos make every citrus note pop.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- Zest and juice of 2 limes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 12 corn tortillas, warmed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp cannabis-infused olive oil (~5mg THC per tbsp)
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- Cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeño, to serve
How to make it
- 1
Whisk citrus zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, and chili powder. Add shrimp and marinate 15 minutes (no longer—citrus will start cooking the shrimp).
- 2
Stir cannabis-infused olive oil into the sour cream until silky; refrigerate.
- 3
Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Cook shrimp 90 seconds per side until pink and lightly charred.
- 4
Warm tortillas directly over a flame or in a dry pan until pliable.
- 5
Assemble: tortilla, infused crema, cabbage, shrimp, cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge and add jalapeño to taste.
Cooking tips
- Stirring the infused oil into cool crema preserves cannabinoids—never heat it directly.
- Pair with a limonene-led sativa to amplify the bright citrus glow.
- Make-ahead: prep the crema up to a day in advance for stronger infusion flavor.

Why this pairing works
Limonene — in your strain and on your plate
The brightest terpene on our list, limonene is the citrus engine behind sativa-leaning, mood-elevating strains. It pairs naturally with bright, acidic dishes and works beautifully as a daytime, social terpene.
