shrimp scampi tacos

A unique twist on a shrimp taco – shrimp sauteed with butter and lemon juice topped with Caesar salad slaw, so fresh and light and takes less than 20 minutes to make!

Shrimp Scampi Tacos with Caesar Salad Slaw

Skinny Creamy Caesar Dressing (divided (recipe follows))

unsalted butter

olive oil

garlic

jumbo shrimp (tails removed)

salt

black pepper (to taste)

red pepper flakes

lemon

Italian parsley

corn tortillas

romaine lettuce leaves (thinly sliced)

Parmesan cheese

scallions (chopped)

garlic clove

Dijon mustard

anchovy

0% fat Greek yogurt

In a small blender or food processor, combine dressing ingredients.  Process until smooth, adding a little water, if necessary, for thinner consistency. Set aside.

Add butter and oil to a large skillet over medium heat.  When butter is melted, add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.  Add shrimp and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes, flip, then add another 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook an additional 2 minutes or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.  Remove from heat and add red pepper (if using), lemon juice, and parsley.  Toss to evenly coat.

Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package directions. In a medium bowl, toss lettuce with 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing.

Divide tortillas and shrimp evenly among 4 plates.  Spoon pan sauce over shrimp, top each with freshly grated parmesan, scallions, and Caesar slaw.  Divide remaining 3 tablespoons of dressing evenly over tacos.
