Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas or flour
  • toppings of your choice
Grilled Shrimp:
  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 t chili powder
  • ½ t onion powder
  • ½ t garlic powder
  • ½ t salt
Light Coleslaw:
  • 4-6 cups finely sliced raw cabbage

  • 2 T grated onion
  • 2 T lime juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the peeled shrimp with the spices, olive oil and lime juice. Toss and let marinade for the 10-15 minutes it will take you to do the rest.
  2. Combine the coleslaw dressing ingredients, then mix in the shredded cabbage and carrots.
  3. Grill the shrimp on one side for a few minutes, then turn to grill on the other. By the time I had all the shrimp laid out, they were ready to turn. Cook until done, another couple minutes.
  4. Assemble the basic taco and let everyone add their own toppings. Alternatively, set everything out and let your guest assemble to taste.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute pre-cut coleslaw mix, pre-cooked shrimp etc to fit your scheduling needs!
  • Consider the following for toppings: guacamole or avocado, salsa, jalapeno slices, chopped cilantro, chopped tomatoes and grated cheese.
