Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the shrimp with blackening seasoning until well coated. Cook the shrimp in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cilantro Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, and mayonnaise. Mix well until the cabbage is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare Corn Pico de Gallo

    In another bowl, combine corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, and lime juice. Mix well and season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Make Chipotle Cream Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and chipotle in adobo sauce until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Add a portion of blackened shrimp, top with cilantro slaw, corn pico de gallo, and drizzle with chipotle cream sauce. Serve with charro black beans on the side.
