Ingredients
Shrimp Marinade
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails off)
- 2 tbsp Volcanic Sunset (Flavor Expedition Co.)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tsp)
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
Avocado Crema
- 1 ripe avocado (peeled and pitted)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño (seeds removed)
- 3 garlic cloves (peeled)
- Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tbsp)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 tbsp water (plus 1 more if needed)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Taco Elements & Garnish
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 8–10 small flour or corn tortillas (lightly toasted)
- Extra cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
-
Marinate those shrimpies:
In a bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients. Toss in the shrimp and coat them like they owe you money. Let them chill in the fridge for up to 30 minutes.
-
Whip the crema:
Blend all avocado crema ingredients until smooth. If it’s thicker than your ex’s excuses, add a splash of water.
-
Prep the slaw:
Shred the cabbages and toss them in a little of that creamy green magic. Set the rest of the crema aside for drizzle duty.
-
Cook the shrimp:
Cast iron skillet or grill—your call. Medium-high heat, shrimp laid flat (no overlapping). Cook 2–3 minutes per side until they get that kissed by fire look.
-
Assemble & devour:
Load up those tortillas with slaw, shrimp, crema drizzle, fresh cilantro, and lime. Cue tastebud mic drop.
