Cajun Shrimp and Spinach/Arugula Tacos

It doesn't take a wise man or women to understand that tacos are yummy. So by default, tacos stuffed with Cajun spiced shrimp, spinach, cheese and other greens would automatically be even more yummy. Serve in warmed corn tortilla and then you're golden.

You will need: 
Medium sized shrimp (enough for however many people coming X however many you can eat)
Cajun seasoning
Salt + pepper to taste
Lemon
1/2 small white onion (or whole if you're making a lot)
Spinach arugula mix
Corn tortillas
Shredded 5 cheese blend (or your favorite sharp cheese)
A little veggie oil

First peel and devein your shrimp. Chop the onion into small dices and throw in with the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Cajun season. Stir to cover shrimp evenly with your makeshift marinade.
Sizzle the shrimp in pan on medium heat until they turn pink and white/until they are cooked. They cook very fast so it will likely take only around 5 minutes.
Cut up the spinach and mixed greens and prep all the taco toppings in bowls. Shredded cheese in one, green mix in the other. If you're feeling zesty throw in a bowl of guac, black beans, and/or corn. 
Wait until the very end to prep the corn tortillas so that they are warm and brown at serving time. We used prepackaged raw corn tortillas that we heated in a pan until brown. 
Put all your ingredients out on the table and dig in! We were low on shrimp that day, so I added in some chicken, seasoning it the same way as the shrimp. And served it with refried beans and corn on the side. 

Sprinkle on a bit of lemon...

Enjoy,
