Spicy Shrimp Tacos

Makes: 4 servings

Total Time: 20-30 minutes

Ingredients:

Shrimp

  • 1 lb of peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Jalapeno Slaw

  • 1 cup white cabbage*
  • 1 cup purple cabbage*
  • 1 TBS fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1-2 TBS diced pickled jalapenos (or 1-2 fresh)
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 1 TBS raw honey
  • juice from 1-2 limes
  • salt and pepper to taste

*or you can use premade slaw

Sauce

  • 1/4-1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1-2 TBS sriracha

white corn tortillas


What to do:

  • Pat shrimp dry and sprinkle with salt
  • Place all ingredients for shrimp in a shallow dish or zip lock bag and mix up until shrimps are completely covered with marinade. Place in fridge
  • Mix all ingredients for slaw together in a large bowl and place in fridge
  • Mix sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and place in fridge (for every 1/4 cup of ranch use 1 TBS of sriracha)
  • Heat large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or avocado oil
  • Heat your corn tortillas for about 1-2 minutes per side – you want them warm and playable so don’t over cook them or they will get too crunchy. Set aside
  • Add more oil to your skillet and add your shrimp
  • Cook shrimp for 3 minutes on each side
  • Build your tacos – tortilla, sauce, shrimp, coleslaw mix, more sauce (if you’re like me and need things saucy!)
