Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons each chili powder and cumin

2-3 cups shredded green cabbage
8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
avocados, Cotija cheese, and lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth.
  • Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage. We'll use the leftover sauce to top the tacos.

  • For the prettiest and easiest-to-eat assembly, go in this order: smashed avocado, slaw, and shrimp. Finish with Cotjia cheese, lime wedges, and extra sauce.

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)

8 small corn tortillas
1 -2 avocado
1 cup Cotija cheese, and additional cilantro for topping

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp: Opt for wild-caught or sustainably farmed shrimp to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful blend of spices and herbs enhances their taste and juiciness. Don't skip this step!
  • Cook the shrimp perfectly: Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make a zesty garlic-cilantro-lime slaw: This slaw adds a refreshing crunch and tangy flavor to the tacos. Use a combination of green and red cabbage for a colorful presentation.
  • Toast the tortillas: Toasting the tortillas adds a smoky flavor and makes them more pliable. You can toast them in a skillet or on a griddle.
  • Assemble the tacos with your favorite toppings: In addition to the shrimp and slaw, you can add avocado, salsa, sour cream, or any other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

These spicy shrimp tacos with garlic-cilantro-lime slaw are a fiesta of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The succulent shrimp, zesty slaw, and toasted tortillas come together to create a mouthwatering taco experience. Serve them with your favorite toppings and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.
