Ingredients
For the shrimp:
1 pound large or jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed (fresh or frozen and thawed)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 lime, juiced and zested
1 teaspoon chipotle seasoning blend
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
Wooden skewers
For the broccoli slaw:
2 cups broccoli slaw mix
2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup plain yogurt
1 avocado
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced and zested
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the tacos:
8 small flour or corn tortillas
Optional toppings: Cotija cheese, sour cream, cilantro, sliced avocado, lime wedges
Instructions
- Rinse and pat the shrimp dry. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Sprinkle with the lime zest, chipotle seasoning, cumin, and salt. Toss to coat evenly. Cover in place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 20 minutes. Soak skewers in water as the shrimp marinades.
- In a bowl, combine the broccoli slaw and scallions. In a food processor, combine the yogurt, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and zest. Pour over the slaw and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp on the skewers and grill until shrimp turn pink, about 1-2 minutes per side. (Alternatively, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.)
- Assemble tacos by layering the broccoli slaw, shrimp, then toppings in the tortilla.
