: Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos

• 8 small soft corn or flour tortillas
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Extra lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with 1-2 teaspoons of chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other components of the tacos.
2. Make the Slaw: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated. Adjust the seasoning to taste. The slaw should have a nice balance of creamy and tangy flavors, adding a crunchy texture to the tacos.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream or Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, chipotle chili powder (optional for more heat), and honey (optional for sweetness). Stir until smooth and well combined. This creamy sauce adds a cooling contrast to the spicy shrimp and balances the flavors in the tacos.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become rubbery. Remove from the heat and set aside.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until they’re pliable. Spoon a generous amount of slaw into the center of each tortilla, top with a few shrimp, and drizzle with the chipotle lime sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime for added freshness and flavor.
6. Serve: Serve the tacos immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing. These Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos are perfect for a quick, flavorful meal that’s sure to satisfy your cravings!
