Ingredients
For the shrimp:
- 2 pounds raw medium or large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 10 cloves garlic minced
- 2-3 tablespoons chipotle sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- zest of 1 lime
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice from about 2 limes
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the slaw:
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and julienned
- ½ head of cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot peeled and julienned
- zest of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice from about 1 lime
- 2-3 green onions thinly sliced
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
- 1 large mango peeled and small diced
For the tacos:
- Flour or corn taco-size tortillas
- Shredded quesadilla or chihuahua cheese
- fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
- Avocado Crema
Instructions
- Drain shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Add to a large bowl; gently toss with the garlic, chipotle sauce, oil, lime zest and juice, paprika, and salt.
- Set aside to marinate while you prepare the ingredients for the slaw.
- In a large bowl, combine the jalapeño, cabbage, carrot, lime zest and juice, green onions, honey, salt, and cilantro. Stir to combine; set aside while cooking the shrimp.
- In a large nonstick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add some of the shrimp in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; you will likely need to work in batches.
- Cook shrimp on the first side for about 1 minute; flip the shrimp and cook for another minute, spooning the butter over the shrimp while they cook.
- Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan and continue with the rest of the shrimp, using the same butter.
- Once all of the shrimp have been cooked, add the cooked shrimp back into the pan and toss with the sauce to warm through.
- Add the mango to the slaw. Serve with the shrimp on warmed tortillas with avocado crema. Top as desired with cheese, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
- Frozen shrimp are a great option if you don’t have a good seafood market near you. Thaw frozen shrimp before marinating them.
