Yep another thread from me about tacos lol! Last night was taco Tuesday. Last week we had shrimp scampi and I had another bag of shrimp in the freezer so I decided on shrimp tacos. Ive never done tacos with shrimp before so this was something new for me. Sunday i did the hens and ribs. The ribs had a sweet chilli rub that I really liked so I decided to go the same on the shrimp but then add a little heat. And of course I'm a big fan of lime and cilantro on my tacos. So here is what I came up with
Started out making some chilli lime slaw.
1/2 bag of pre shredded cabbage mix
2Tbls Dukes mayo
1 Tbls lime juice
1 Tbls sugar
1tsp kosher salt
1tsp BADIA chilli &lime (really good stuff )
Then some sriracha sauce for topping
1/4 cup Dukes mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1.5 Tbls siracha sauce
1tsp lime juice
Now to season the shrimp. I used the same sweet chilli seasoning I used on the ribs I made Sunday. Its real good stuff. Tossed the shrimp with olive oil and the seasoning then let them sit for a little while to take on the flavors.
Next step was son avacado. Sliced up then seasons with salt,pepper,garlic powder and cummin.
Shrimp skewers ready for the grill!
I had the grill running hot so I could get a little char on them without over cooking.
Then I assembled the tacos. I put the slaw down first then the shrimp and avacado slices. Drizzle a little of the sriracha sauce then garnished with just a little cilantro and cotija cheese.
And here is a close up shot.
They were really good. I'll definitely do shrimp again for tacos. The flavor was nice ..a hint of lime with some heat and a little sweet . the fat from the avacado and the crunch of the slaw made for a real nice texture as well. Another successful taco tuesday! Thanks for taking a look!
