Instructions

Step 1

For the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Add to a ziplock bag with olive oil, lime juice and spices. Toss to coat. Rest for 10 minutes while preparing the shrimp taco sauce, or refrigerate for several hours until ready to use.

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and cooked through.

Step 3

For the Shrimp Taco Sauce: Blend all the sauce ingredients together in a small blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Add about ½ a cup of the sauce to the slaw and stir well to coat.

Step 4

Assemble: Fill tortillas with a few shrimp and a spoonful of slaw. Top with fresh avocado, extra sauce (if desired) and any additional toppings.
