Add the shrimp taco sauce ingredients to your food processor and blend on high until mostly smooth.
In a large bowl, mix the shrimp with taco seasoning, oil, and salt. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and let them cook for 2 minutes. Flip them over and let them cook for one minute more.
Mix ¼ cup of the shrimp taco sauce with shredded cabbage to make the slaw.
Assemble the tacos by piling the slaw on top of warm tortillas then topping with the shrimp and any or all of the optional toppings.
