Ingredients
- 3 limes juiced
- 2 tbsp. cilantro freshly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp. cumin
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lime zest
- salt to taste
- 1 lb. shrimp peeled and deveined
- 8 tortillas warmed
Cabbage Slaw
- 1 c. green cabbage shredded
- ¼ c. cilantro
- ¼ red onion sliced thinly
- ½ avocado sliced thinly
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- salt to taste
Garlic-Lime Mayo
- ⅓ c. mayo
- 2 tbsp. hot sauce
- 1 lime zest
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by whisking the lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, olive oil, zest and a little salt together until combined. Then add in the shrimp and give a good toss before covering and allowing to marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes. Don't marinate any longer than 20 minutes or you will risk having rubbery shrimp.
- While the shrimp is marinating, make the slaw by combining all the ingredients together and giving a good mix. Season with salt and set aside.
- You don't have to make the garlic-lime mayo, but it pairs so nicely with the shrimp. Simply whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl and season with salt.
- When the shrimp is done marinating, heat your grill to medium heat. Grill the shrimp about 3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
- Last, make your tacos by layering the slaw, shrimp, and a little mayo. If you want, garnish with additional cilantro, then serve and enjoy!
