Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, and spices. Add the shrimp, toss to coat, and let marinate for 15-20 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
  2. While shrimp is marinating, make crema and slaw. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, mango, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to combine. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise (if using), lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm the tortillas, then layer with mango cabbage slaw, shrimp, and a drizzle of spicy crema. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
  6. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage Tip:Store shrimp, slaw, and crema in separate containers in the fridge—shrimp lasts up to 3 days, slaw 2–3 days, and crema up to 5 days. Wrap tortillas and keep at room temp for a couple days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
