Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Make the Cream Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, create a bed of shredded cabbage. Top it with grilled shrimp, diced tomatoes, and drizzle the cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
