Jerk spiced shrimp tacos

The flavorful marinade for the shrimp with the sweet, fruity crema and crunchy slaw is such a great combination. Fresh and easy to make too.

Instructions

  1. Mix together all of the marinade ingredients (garlic, ginger, onion, allspice, thyme, soy sauce, honey, lime, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and salt) in a small container or zip-top freezer bag. Add the shrimp and toss so they are coated. Refrigerate to marinade for approx 2hrs.
  2. Shortly before ready to cook, mix together the slaw ingredients (grated carrot, shredded cabbage, cilantro and lime) and set aside. Mash/puree the mango crema ingredients (mango, sour cream and lime) and set aside as well.
  3. Warm either a grill or grill pan to cook the shrimp. Shake any excess marinade off the shrimp then grill just a minute or two either side until they are opaque and cooked through.
  4. Put together your tacos - a spoonful of slaw, topped with some shrimp and a drizzle of mango crema. Enjoy!
