Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound Frozen Shrimp
1 Jalapeño Pepper
1 cup Red Cabbage
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Honey
3/8 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Lime
to taste Fresh Cilantro
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
12 6-Inch Corn Tortilla
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Steps:

  • Clean and peel the Frozen Shrimp (1 pound) and defrost if needed. Place the shrimp in the fridge, covered.
  • While the shrimp is in the fridge, prep remaining ingredients. Carefully remove the stem, seeds, and ribs from the Jalapeño Pepper (1). Cut into vertical strips and mince.
  • Quarter the Red Cabbage (1 cup) and remove the stem of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into shreds.
  • Combine chopped cabbage, Apple Cider Vinegar (1 tablespoon), Honey (1 tablespoon), Salt (1/4 teaspoon) and Ground Black Pepper (1/8 teaspoon) in a large bowl. Cut your Lime (1) in half. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of the lime into the slaw and stir to mix everything together.
  • Chop the Fresh Cilantro (to taste).
  • Add in the minced jalapeño and chopped cilantro to the bowl and mix. Add honey and apple cider vinegar to taste, and set aside to marinate.
  • To make the Sriracha Ranch, stir together Ranch Dressing (1/4 cup) and Sriracha (1 tablespoon) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove the shrimp from the fridge. Pat shrimp dry by pressing lightly between two paper towels.
  • Season shrimp with Paprika (1 teaspoon), Cayenne Pepper (1/4 teaspoon), Garlic Powder (1/2 teaspoon), Salt (1/8 teaspoon), and Ground Black Pepper (1/8 teaspoon). Mix well to coat evenly.
  • Lightly warm 6-Inch Corn Tortilla (12) up in a skillet (or in the microwave).
  • Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high heat with Coconut Oil (1 tablespoon) and sauté your shrimp. Cook on each side for about 2 minutes until shrimp curl and become opaque.
  • Place your shrimp on a clean cutting board and chop into smaller pieces.
  • Cut the remaining half lime into wedges and set aside for the tacos.
  • Fill your warm tortillas with slaw and shrimp. Drizzle with Sriracha ranch. Double up on corn tortillas if desired to prevent the tortillas from ripping.
  • Squeeze some lime over the top. Serve and enjoy!
