Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Peel and de-vein the shrimp, then rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Mince the habanero peppers and garlic, then mix them with lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor until you get a smooth sauce.
3
Add the shrimp to the sauce and marinate for at least 10-15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they're pink and cooked through.
5
Warm the taco shells according to package instructions and assemble the tacos by placing a few cooked shrimp in each shell, topping with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a slice of radish.
