Light, bright, and completely satisfying. Use lettuce or jicama wraps instead of tortillas for zero-carb.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 small corn tortillas (or large lettuce leaves)
- Spice rub: 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt
- Slaw: 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, pinch of sugar, salt
- Crema: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 clove garlic minced, pinch of cayenne
- Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sliced avocado
Directions
- Mix slaw ingredients 15 min before serving. Prepare crema. Set both aside.
Toss shrimp with spice rub and 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Grill or cook in a hot pan 2-3 min per side until pink.
Warm tortillas over an open flame or dry skillet.
- Build tacos: tortilla, shrimp, slaw, avocado, crema, cilantro. Squeeze lime over.
Notes
Using Greek yogurt for the crema cuts fat dramatically while increasing protein. Cabbage slaw is essential — the crunch contrasts perfectly with soft shrimp.
