Description

Delicious spicy shrimp tacos served with a refreshing coleslaw and your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large or jumbo sized shrimp
  • 1 Tbsp hot honey (I use Mike’s hot honey)
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime, juice of (~2 tablespoon lime juice)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1½ cups shredded carrots (~2 large carrots)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil mayonnaise (or your favorite mayo)
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp hot honey (or regular honey)
  • ½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice (1 small lime)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • tortilla (I use corn tortillas or Siete almond flour tortillas)
  • toppings of choice (diced avocado, salsa verde, feta cheese, fresh cilantro or wedge of lime work great)

Instructions

  1. Prep shrimp: If using frozen shrimp, thaw first. Clean and devein your raw shrimp. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the deveined shrimp, olive oil, hot honey, lime juice, and spice mixture until each shrimp is coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. If making these shrimp in the air fryer, spread them in an even layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  4. If cooking the shrimp in a skillet, heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook each side of the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. You can tell when the shrimp is done when it turns opaque.
  5. While the shrimp is cooking, shred cabbage and carrots and set them aside.
  6. In a large bowl, add the dressing ingredients and whisk well to combine.
  7. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots on top of the dressing and then mix everything until the vegetables are well coated.
  8. Assemble the tacos by warming your tortillas and add the coleslaw, shrimp, and your favorite toppings!

Notes
