Chipotle Shrimp Tacos
Ingredients
Shrimp Tacos
- 1 lb. Raw Shrimp peeled + deveined + tail-off
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Chipotle Powder
- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- Avocados sliced or mashed
- Flour Tortillas warmed
- Cotija Cheese crumbled
Chipotle Lime Sauce
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- ½ tsp Chipotle Powder
- 3 tbsp Lime Juice
Cilantro Lime Coleslaw
- 2 cups Green Cabbage sliced thin
- ¼ cup Cilantro chopped leaves & stems are ok
- 2 Green Onion Stalks sliced
- 1 Lime juiced
Instructions
- Make the chipotle-lime sauce. Whisk your mayonnaise, chipotle powder and lime juice together until smooth. Cover and keep it stored in the refrigerator.
- Make the cilantro lime coleslaw. Toss your shredded cabbage, cilantro and green onion together. Then add your desired amount of lime juice and toss until fully coated.
- Cook the shrimp. Toss your shrimp, spices and garlic together in a bowl.
- Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the shrimp and arrange them in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the the shrimp are cooked through and no longer opaque. (You may need to do this in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan.)
- Transfer the shrimp to a bowl once done. (At this point, you can leave them whole or cut them into pieces.)
- Assemble the tacos. Warm the tortillas using your favorite method.
- Layer each tortilla with avocado, the chipotle shrimp, a drizzle of chipotle-lime sauce and your coleslaw. Sprinkle cotija cheese (if using) over the top and serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
