Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- 1-2 Avocados
- 4 oz Bag Cabbage Slaw
- ¼ cup Cilantro
- 4-6 Flour Tortillas or corn tortillas
- 1 teaspoon Blackened Seasoning 1 teaspoon each paprika, garlic salt, pepper, harissa
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- ½ Small Lime
Cilantro Lime Dressing
- ¼ cup Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup Mayo
- 1 cup Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Chicken Bouillon
- 1 Jalapeno
- ½ tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
- 1 Small Lime juiced
Instructions
- Prepare cilantro lime dressing by combining all ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth and adjust seasonings to your taste if desired.
- Pat shrimp dry and season with blackening seasoning.
- In a large skillet, heat to medium-high heat and add oil. Wait until the pan is almost smoking hot and add shrimp to the pan.
- Do not disturb shrimp and let sear 2-3 minutes on each side until done.
- While shrimp is searing, drizzle 1 teaspoon of lime juice (about a ½ of lime) on each side. Shrimp should create a tasty crust on both sides.
- While shrimp cooks, prepare toppings (pico de gallo, cabbage slaw and avocado).
- After the shrimp is cooked, use the same pan to toast tortillas until slightly brown and crisp.
- Prepare each taco by adding the cabbage slaw, blackened shrimp, pico de gallo and sliced avocado. Drizzle each taco with the cilantro lime dressing. Served with sliced limes and additional chopped cilantro if desired and enjoy!
