Cilantro Lime Coleslaw
- 2 cups Cabbage, grated
- ⅓ cup Greek Yogurt, 2%

- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Guacamole
- 2 Avocados, ripe
- ½ Lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Jalapeno, chopped (optional based on heat tolerance)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To Serve
- Flour or Corn Tortillas * see note section for sizing.
- Extra jalapeños, green onion and lime wedges
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the skewers in water. They should soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Peel shrimp, rinse, pat dry and place in a large bowl. Season shrimp with olive oil and spices. Toss gently to combine. Place in the fridge until ready to cook and let marinate.
- In a bowl, combine all cilantro lime dressing ingredients. Stir well to combine. Place the grated cabbage in a large bowl and toss in the dressing.
- In a medium bowl, mash up the avocado and add the remaining ingredients, mixing well.
- Turn on the BBQ to high heat - you want the temperature to be in the searing range, about 450°F.
- While the BBQ is preheating, place the shrimp on the skewers - we put four shrimp per skewer.
- Place shrimp on BBQ and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. Make sure you watch closely so they don’t get too charred.
- Turn off BBQ and place the tortillas on the grill until warm and slightly charred, about 20 seconds per side.
- Assemble tacos by generously spreading cabbage on the bottom and top with guacamole and shrimp.
- Serve with sliced green onion and lime wedges. For extra heat, chop up some jalapeños.
Notes
- 5 inch for appetizer sized (makes about 12 tacos) or 7 inch for dinner size (makes about 8 tacos)
- You can cook your shrimp in a cast iron or grill pan on the stovetop if don't have access to a BBQ - just make sure you get it hot and the cooking time will be the same.
- You can also heat tortillas in microwave or on the stovetop.
