Thanks to Lindsay at Pinch of Yum for bringing restaurant style shrimp tacos to our kitchen! We breaded our shrimp but the slaw makes it delicious either way!

Time 35m

Yield 8 Mini Tacos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup cilantro leaf
2 -3 garlic cloves (less if you're sensitive to garlicky things)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 limes, juice of
1/2 cup sour cream
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1 teaspoon chili powder, cumin, and southwestern seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
2 -3 cups shredded green cabbage
8 small corn tortillas
1 -2 avocado
1 cup Cotija cheese, and additional cilantro for topping
8 lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
  • Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
  • To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.

These tacos were a bit spicy for me, but they were still really good. I loved the combination of flavors and the slaw was a great way to cool down the heat.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but these tacos were surprisingly good. The slaw was really flavorful and helped to balance out the shrimp.
