  • Prep Time: 20 minutes

  • Cook Time: 6 minutes

🔪 INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 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.

  2. Whip the crema:
    Blend all avocado crema ingredients until smooth. If it’s thicker than your ex’s excuses, add a splash of water.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Assemble & devour:
    Load up those tortillas with slaw, shrimp, crema drizzle, fresh cilantro, and lime. Cue tastebud mic drop.
