TOTAL TIME
1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add unsalted butter, and olive oil.
2
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until they become soft, about 2 minutes.
3
Add in the fresh shrimp and cook until they turn pink, usually around 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking them to prevent a rubbery texture.
4
Assemble tacos by evenly dividing the shrimp mixture onto the corn tortillas. Top each with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.
5
Using the same skillet, add assembled tacos and cook open-face. This warmth will soften the tortilla and start the cheese melting process.
6
Once the tortilla is soft, use a spatula to fold it over. Cook the taco on both sides until crispy, and the cheese is completely melted.
7
Continue this process until all tacos are prepared and serve them warm.
