Cilantro-Lime Shrimp Tacos 

Juice of 3 limes

2 tbsp. freshly chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish

2 tsp minced garlic. I use Christopher Ranch in the jar

1/2 tsp. cumin

1 tbsp. olive oil

Zest of 1 lime

Kosher salt, to taste

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and de-veined

8 Tortillas, warmed 

FOR THE CABBAGE SLAW

1 c. shredded green cabbage

1/4 c. cilantro

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 avocado, thinly sliced

Juice of 1 lime

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt, to taste 

FOR THE GARLIC-LIME MAYO

1/3 c. mayonnaise

2 tbsp. hot sauce. I like Tapatio for this

Zest of 1 lime1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Kosher salt, to taste 

In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, olive oil, lime zest and season with salt. Add shrimp and cover with plastic wrap. Let marinate 20 minutes in refrigerator. Make slaw: in a large bowl combine all slaw ingredients. Toss gently to combine and season with salt. Make garlic-lime mayo: in a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Whisk and season with salt. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Grill shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Build tacos: add a scoop of slaw, a few shrimp, and a drizzle of the garlic-lime mayo to each taco. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
