1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed

Steps:

  • 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.

  • 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!

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons clover honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 large carrot, peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater

Steps:

  • Put the lemon juice, orange juice, honey, mustard, basil and some salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the canola oil until emulsified.
  • Combine the Napa cabbage, red cabbage and carrot in a large bowl; add half of the dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and add more dressing if needed.

Tips:

- For a truly authentic shrimp taco experience, use fresh, succulent shrimp. Frozen shrimp can also be used, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. - To get the best flavor from your shrimp, marinate them in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs before cooking. This will help to infuse the shrimp with delicious flavor. - When cooking the shrimp, be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. - Serve the shrimp tacos immediately after they are cooked, while the shrimp are still hot and juicy. Top with your favorite toppings, such as citrus cabbage slaw, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Conclusion:

These shrimp tacos are bursting with flavor, thanks to the succulent shrimp, the zesty citrus cabbage slaw, and the creamy avocado slices. They are the perfect meal for a casual get-together or a Cinco de Mayo celebration. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy meal, give these shrimp tacos a try. You won't be disappointed!
