Ingredients You Will Need:
For the tacos-
1 lb. large shrimp- peeled, deveined, and tails off
Shredded cabbage- or a bag of coleslaw mix
Fresh cilantro- chopped
Street taco flour tortillas- or regular taco-sized. You can also use corn tortillas if you prefer.
Seasonings- taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Avocado oil-

For the Shrimp Taco Sauce-
Sour cream- or Greek yogurt
Mayo-
Lime- juice of 1 lime, or 1-2 tbsp. lime juice
Honey- for a touch of sweetness
Seasonings- taco seasoning, cayenne, salt, and pepper

First, you want to prep the shrimp: make sure the shrimp are peeled, deveined, and the tails removed. Pat dry with a paper towel and add to a plate. Drizzle with avocado oil and add taco seasoning and garlic powder, season with salt and pepper. Mix until shrimp are fully coated and set aside.

For the sauce, add all the ingredients into a medium bowl and stir to combine. Reserve some sauce for drizzling over tacos then add the cabbage and cilantro into the rest of the sauce. Mix it up and refrigerate until ready to serve.

In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the shrimp for a few minutes per side, until slightly charred and no longer gray. Transfer to a plate and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Char tortillas over high heat for 1 minute per side. Now you're ready to assemble.

Lay out the tortillas and add some slaw, followed by 2 or 3 shrimp, drizzle with the reserved sauce, and add some cilantro on top. Serve immediately.
