Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Cabbage (thinly shredded)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tsp Hot sauce
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the shrimp marinade.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the other components.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce to create the creamy lime sauce. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the slaw by mixing shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro in a medium bowl. Toss lightly and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning). Grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until opaque and charred in spots.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas by placing them on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable and slightly charred.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing a handful of slaw on each tortilla, followed by 3–4 grilled shrimp. Drizzle the creamy lime sauce over the top.

Step 9

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy!
