- For the slaw: Combine the sliced jalapeno and shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the milk mixture over the cabbage and jalapeno and toss to combine. (Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours if you have the time.) Before serving, toss in the cilantro.
- For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook, tossing it around, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato or enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Stir in the cumin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter, then remove from the heat.
- Serve the warm tortillas with the shrimp, slaw, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sour cream and pepper jack cheese, then let everyone build their own tacos. Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges over the top at the end!

Tips and Conclusion
Popcorn shrimp tacos are unique and delightful dish that combines the crispy texture of popcorn shrimp with the fresh flavors of cabbage slaw and a creamy sauce. Here are some tips and tricks to make the most of this recipe:
- Use fresh popcorn shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give you the best results. Popcorn shrimp is typically sold in the frozen food section of grocery stores.
- Make sure to season the shrimp before dredging. This will help to give the shrimp more flavor. The recipe includes a simple seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can also add other spices to taste.
- Use a light touch when dredging the shrimp. You don't want to weigh the shrimp down with too much breading.
