Servings: persons

1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 serrano, seeded
1 jalapeno, seeded
1/4 large jicama, peeled
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 corn tortillas.
1/2 bunch cilantro
2-3 limes, cut into wedges

1
Toast the pumpkin seeds in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until they turn slightly golden, about eight minutes. Remove and place in a blender.
2
Add olive oil, garlic, salt, jalapeno, serrano, cilantro, and half a cup water to the blender. Process into very smooth.
3
Pour the mixture into the skillet, turn the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Add a half cup of water about halfway through. Stir occasionally, adding more water if it looks dry.
4
Meanwhile, shred the jicama with a box grater.
5
After the 20 minutes of simmering, turn the heat to medium-high and toss in the shrimp. Cook until they have turned pink, about five minutes. Stir to make sure all sides of the shrimp have cooked.
6
Meanwhile, place another skillet over high heat. Warm a tortilla for a few seconds on each side, then place in on plate and cover with a towel. Repeat with the other tortillas.
7
Serve the shrimp and sauce on the tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded jicama on top and serve with the lime wedges.
