Ingredients

Lime Crema
  • 6 ounces Greek yogurt I used 0% fat
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest zest the lime before you juice it
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely minced, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey optional and to taste
Tacos
  • beer battered shrimp SeaPak brand, 16-ounce package
  • 6 to 8 flour tortillas slightly charred if desired, medium soft, or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup red cabbage divided, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado diced into bite-sized pieces; divided, medium/large, ripe, Hass variety
  • 1 cup cheese divided (I used queso fresco; cotija would be another great choice, shredded or finely chopped
  • cilantro for garnishing, fresh, finely minced
  • jalapeño peppers pico de gallo, or your favorite taco garnishes, optional
  • lime for garnishing, wedges

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Lime Crema - Add all ingredients to a medium bowl, whisk to combine, taste and check for flavor balance. Add more salt, pepper, etc. if desired. I add and enjoy the slightly sweetened flavor the honey provides but it's optional. Set crema aside.
  2. Tacos - Cook shrimp according to package directions. While shrimp cook, lightly char the taco shells if desired. I place them directly on my oven burner over medium-high heat, and cook for about 10 seconds per side, flipping with a tongs. Keep a very close eye on them; use your favorite method.
  3. If desired, remove tails and/or halve the shrimp before adding to the taco shells.
  4. Top each taco with desired amount of cabbage, avocado, cheese, cilantro, optional ingredients, lime wedges on the side, and evenly drizzle with crema to taste. Tacos are best fresh. Extra crema will keep airtight for up to 5 days.
