  • 2 Tbsp Taco seasoning
  • 1 lbs Large shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed, about 30
  • 8 (6-inch) Corn tortillas, warmed

Mexican hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Avocado Crema

  • 1 Small avocado
  • 1 Large garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix together the olive oil, lime juice and taco seasoning. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.
  2. Make the crema: Add the avocado, garlic, sour cream, salt, lime juice, cilantro and jalapeño to the base of a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  3. Make the slaw: In a large bowl toss together the cabbage, raw onion and cilantro with 1/2 cup of avocado crema until fully incorporated.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium. Warm the tortillas, using a little bit of olive oil if desired. Once warmed/toasted, place them on a plate and cover them with a tea towel so that they stay warm. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and fully cooked through about 2 minutes each side.
