SPICY SHRIMP TACOS WITH GARLIC CILANTRO LIME SLAW
Steps:
- For the garlic cilantro lime sauce: Combine oil, water, green onions, cilantro, garlic, salt, lime juice 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 (cumin, chili powder, Southwestern rub). 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 cheese, cilantro, cayenne pepper and lime wedges.
- **For the three spices, I used chili powder, cumin, and a store bought southwestern seasoning mix / rub. I would say the chili powder and the cumin are must-haves for the color and flavor, but then just add whatever else you like or have in your spice cabinet from there. If you don't have a seasoning mix that's salted, be sure to add salt and pepper.
