Instructions

Step 1

Peel and devein the shrimp, and rinse them with cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with garlic granules, cumin, chilli powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lime juice. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocados, lime juice, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, red onion, fresh coriander, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently toss the ingredients to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado too much. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Slice the red cabbage thinly, using a knife or a vegetable peeler. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced cabbage with salt, olive oil, and lime juice. Mix well to ensure the cabbage is evenly seasoned. Set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the mayo and chipotle paste to create the chipotle mayo. Adjust the amount of chipotle paste according to your desired level of spiciness. Set aside.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with olive oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and grill them for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Once done, remove the shrimp from the grill and set them aside.

Step 7

Place the taco shells on the grill for a brief moment to warm them slightly. This step helps to enhance their flavour and texture.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, spread 1-2 teaspoons of chipotle mayo on each taco shell. Layer on some of the seasoned red cabbage, followed by a spoonful of the avocado salsa. Finally, top each taco with a few grilled shrimp.

Step 9

Sprinkle crumbled Feta or Cotija cheese and fresh chopped coriander over the assembled tacos to garnish and add extra flavour.

Step 10

Serve the grilled shrimp tacos immediately while they are still warm. They pair well with a squeeze of lime juice and additional hot sauce if desired.
