Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp shelled & deveined, tails removed
- 1 ounce taco seasoning 1 packet, or 2 tablespoons homemade
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice about ½ lime
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 small corn tortillas or flour tortillas, 6-inch
Cilantro Slaw
- 1 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
- ¼ cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice optional
- ½ teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- For the slaw, in a medium bowl mix green and purple cabbage, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, and cumin. Season with salt to taste and refrigerate.
- In a separate bowl, combine shrimp with taco seasoning, lime juice, and garlic powder.
- In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Using tongs, cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until they're pink and cooked through.
- Warm the corn tortillas over an open flame or follow package instructions.
- Fill each warm tortilla with slaw and cooked shrimp, adding any other desired toppings.
Notes
- Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink. Once cooked, remove them from the pan promptly to avoid overcooking.
- Spice things up by adding some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the slaw for an extra kick.
- The cilantro slaw can be made 24 hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors blend beautifully overnight.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store shrimp separately from tortillas and toppings to keep things fresh.
