Shrimp Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, red chile powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cilantro Lime Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the cabbage is well coated and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated shrimp for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are pink and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In another skillet, warm the corn tortillas on both sides until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a portion of the cooked shrimp on each tortilla, top with the cilantro lime slaw, and fold the tortillas in half.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve the shrimp tacos with a side of frijoles, papitas, and lime wedges.
