Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound medium (26/30) peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
2 teaspoons chili powder
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed well
1/3 cup prepared chipotle mayonnaise
2 limes, 1 zested and juiced and 1 cut into wedges
One 14-ounce bag store-bought coleslaw mix (about 6 cups)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and soft stems roughly chopped
Sour cream or Mexican crema, for serving
8 corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the shrimp, chili powder and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the canola oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp is no longer opaque and just cooked through, turning only once, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet with the dripping, using a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon scallions for garnish and add the rest to the skillet. Cook until the scallions are slightly softened, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the beans and a large pinch of salt and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and reserve.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the chipotle mayonnaise, lime zest and juice and a large pinch of salt. Add the coleslaw mix and half of the cilantro and stir to combine.
  • Serve the shrimp alongside the beans, coleslaw, remaining cilantro, scallions, sour cream or Mexican crema, lime wedges and warm tortillas.

SPICY CHIPOTLE COLE SLAW



Spicy Chipotle Cole Slaw image

Adapted from one of Emeril's recipes, where he did an episode with "crazy tacos". We like to make this and serve it in the fish tacos. I don't use Emeril's fish taco recipe, though. Instead I serve with Recipe #232309. I've change the propotions a bit and added some extras like cilantro and carrots. I really like the onions. Update 6/6/07: I made this tonight and measured everything as I made it, so I've updated the amounts (usually I don't measure, but just eyeball it).
