Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 lbs. Shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons dry taco seasoning from a 1-ounce packet
  • 3 lime divided
  • 8 ounces coleslaw mix about 3.75 cups, or shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream or mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon honey
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • corn tortilla for serving, or flour tortillas
  • avocado optional toppings, avocado slices, shredded cheddar cheese
  • salsa
  • cheddar cheese
  • cilantro

Instructions

MARINATE THE SHRIMP:

  1. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together olive oil, taco seasoning, and juice from 1 lime.
  2. Place shrimp in a large zip-top plastic bag and pour marinade over the shrimp. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you wait for the oven to preheat and while you prepare the slaw.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  4. Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
  5. While the shrimp marinate (and while the oven preheats), prepare the slaw.

FOR THE SLAW:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), juice from 1 lime, honey, salt and pepper. Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl and toss until the cabbage is evenly coated with the sauce. It will look fairly dry initially, but as the slaw sits, the cabbage will absorb the sauce and it will become very moist. You can always add more lime juice or yogurt just before serving, if necessary. Set coleslaw aside.

BAKE THE SHRIMP:

  1. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Roast shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or just until pink, stirring halfway through. Be sure to keep an eye on the shrimp so that you don’t overcook it (or it will be tough).
  3. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in the oven during the final 5 minutes of shrimp cooking time.
  4. Remove from oven and squeeze juice from remaining lime over top. Toss to coat.
  5. Fill warm tortillas with shrimp and slaw. Garnish with desired toppings!

Notes

  • You can use fresh shrimp or frozen shrimp that you thaw in the refrigerator overnight. To thaw frozen shrimp quickly, place them in a colander and run them under cold water.
  • Enjoy these shrimp tacos warm from the oven, or serve them at room temperature. It's an easy meal to prepare in advance, and you can even enjoy leftovers cold!
  • Don't want cabbage on your tacos? Substitute with plain shredded iceberg lettuce instead.
  • Cooking just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half! The rest of the cooking instructions remain the same.
