Shrimp Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw
1 lb small shrimp, cooked or raw
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
chipotle sauce
1/4 cup mayo
juice from 1 lime
1 teaspoon chipotles in adobo sauce
salt
red cabbage slaw
2 cups red cabbage, sliced thin
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 small tortillas, wheat or corn
toppings:
2 ripe avocados, diced
3 green onions, sliced
chopped cilantro
shredded cheddar cheese
salsa
lime wedges
- Toss the thinly sliced cabbage with the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
- Warm the tortillas, either by wrapping in foil and placing in the oven heated to 325°F, or over an open gas flame on the stove, one at a time.
- Stir together the mayo, lime juice, chipotle chilies, and a big pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Toss the shrimp with the salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the shrimp briefly, until heated through (if shrimp is precooked) and about 2-3 minutes if using raw shrimp. Remove from heat.
- Assemble tacos: fill warm tortillas with shrimp, slaw, diced avocado, and other other toppings and drizzle with sauce. Eat immediately.
