Grrrr! They gave me the wrong measurements for the lome juice

I would say yes- I made these with shrimp and chicken- absolutely phenomenal and easy. :) 
I have to say- these don't seem right with anything battered. So good and healthy without it.
I love this blog. :)

That sauce- gah!  My dad said the meal was "restaurant quality."  Thank you!

Oh, my goodness!  This was a fabulous fast &amp; easy dinner.  The sauce really does make the dish.  Creamy but not at all heavy and a perfect counter to the  shrimp.  I didn't have tortillas so I built it on a large bowl of the dressed slaw.  Then I garnished with some tortilla chips.  It's a keeper!!

I hope it's ok to pipe in....not that it is a big deal or anything... but I saw this comment when scrolling through, and if I had to guess, I would assume that the directions actually did mean to say to take the tail off the shrimp, not the head, am I correct?? I only say this because I learned an interesting fact a few years ago about why the the vast majority of shrimp sold (and purchased) in stores are shrimps without the heads.  Apparently, if the head is kept on the shrimp for even a couple of hours after it's dead, it will begin to release strong enzymes into the body of the shrimp, which then break down the shrimp flesh and make the shrimp super mushy and yucky, and no one wants that!!! I know this is super irrelevant and unnecessary to respond to a comment a year later, but I figured I would share my knowledge to anyone who wanted to listen lol. Anyways..... thanks for the amazing recipe!!! I was actually also curious where you went in CA that you got these tacos originally, as I live here in So Cal, and just wanted to see if maybe there is a new place I have to go check out for a date night or something =) Thank's again for the great recipe, can't wait to check out more on here =)

Terry, I think she did mean remove the tails. Some shrimp recipes, mostly fried, specify to leave the tails on. Also, some food photographers prefer to picture the shrimp tails on, even the recipe obviously call for their removal, but doesn't specify. And, Missy, I'd do some research about the dangers of leaving the heads on. My experience says otherwise.

I made this dish last night and it was disturbingly salty and just... not very good. Never again.

Easy 15 Minute Shrimp Tacos with spicy shrimp, creamy slaw and yummy sauce wrapped in warm tortilla. The best you ever tried!

15 Minute Shrimp Tacos

lb raw shrimp (peeled & deveined (I left tails on))

tbsp taco seasoning

garlic powder

oz bag slaw or 3 cups shredded cabbage

cilantro (finely chopped)

Avocado oil (for frying)

black pepper (to taste)

corn tortillas

Easy guacamole (optional)

plain yogurt (2%+ fat)

mayo (I use avocado oil)

lime

tsp taco seasoning

tsp salt

cayenne

In a medium bowl, add shrimp, 1 tbsp taco seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. Stir and set aside.

In a small bowl, add yogurt, mayo, lime juice, taco seasoning, cayenne and black pepper. Stir and set aside.

Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet on high heat and add shrimp. Cook until pink on the bottom, flip and cook until no longer gray. For more char, flip once and press on shrimp with spatula. Or you can grill shrimp on a silicone grill mat on high heat.

In a large bowl, add slaw, cilantro, salt and almost all of the sauce, reserving some for drizzling on tacos. Stir gently.

To assemble tacos, warm tortillas in a cast iron skillet on high heat for 10 seconds per side and pressing on with spatula. Fill each tortilla with 3-4 shrimps, some slaw and drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately, maybe with easy guacamole too. :)

The BEST Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Cilantro Lime Slaw - ready in about 30 minutes and loaded with flavor and texture. SO YUM!

Amazing! Loved everything about this recipe - wouldn’t change a thing. I did substitute feta because the recommended cheese is hard to find here. 

That sauce is incredible! Will definitely be making these again soon! Thanks for another amazing recipe.

Hi, I am wondering with the leftover cilantro sauce, or if you made double, could you freeze that?

The BEST Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Cilantro Lime Slaw – ready in about 30 minutes and loaded with flavor and texture. SO YUM!

The classic flavors of warm shrimp tacos blend amazingly with a fresh, crunchy Asian slaw in this delicious dinner recipe!

Shrimp Tacos with Asian Cabbage Slaw

red cabbage, (shredded)

green cabbage, (shredded)

carrot, (shredded)

scallions, (finely chopped)

ginger

mayonnaise

sesame oil

soy sauce

rice vinegar

honey

shrimp, (peeled and deveined, tails removed)

butter

taco seasoning

flour tortillas, (or corn tortillas, warmed)

Avocado, (cubed)

Lime juice

Sesame seeds

Fresh cilantro, (chopped)

In a large mixing bowl, mix together all the slaw ingredients.

In a small bowl or jug, make the Asian dressing by whisking together all the ingredients until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss together until evenly coated. Set aside.

In a skillet over a medium-high heat, add the butter and olive oil. Allow to heat up.

Once hot, add the shrimp and taco seasoning and mix together; cook until shrimp are pink and opaque. About 3 to 4 minutes.

Assemble the tacos by placing a serving of the asian slaw in the centre of a warmed tortilla. Top with a few of the prepared shrimp. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp, and add some avocado, sesame seeds, and fresh chopped cilantro.

Serve immediately and enjoy.

Juicy taco-seasoned shrimp and a creamy cilantro cabbage slaw make these shrimp tacos fresh, crunchy, and weeknight-fast.

shrimp (shelled & deveined, tails removed)

(1 ounce) packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade)

lime juice (about ½ lime)

corn tortillas (or flour tortillas, 6-inch)

red cabbage

cilantro

lime juice (optional)

For the slaw, in a medium bowl mix green and red cabbage, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Season with salt to taste and refrigerate.

In a separate bowl, combine shrimp with taco seasoning, lime juice, and garlic powder.

In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Using tongs, cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until they&#39;re pink and cooked through.

Warm the corn tortillas over an open flame or follow package instructions.

Fill each warm tortilla with slaw and cooked shrimp, adding any other desired toppings.

I'm not amused. Instead of green cabbage, I used Iceberg lettuce, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My 16 year old daughter took over twice what she normally eats, so I had to make a sandwich. What I tried was excellent. Buying more next time.

Made and Loved! My youngest almost ate all the shrimp before we even got to make tacos it was so good! SWP Employee

Hi! First of all, apologies because I read it in a rush and made it quite different. But it's SO good!
So my slaw was tomatoes+parsley+onions+salt+peper and instead of the mayonnaise, cream cheese. It's great for a lighter version but can't wait to test out the version with cabbage and mayo!
I've made the taco mix as per your recipe, as we don't have that here and it's wonderful!

These are delicious! Thank you! Loved the house made taco seasoning - so much better than the packaged variety. The only thing that confused me a bit was in the narrative, you mention lime juice for the slaw but its not listed in the ingredients (or did I miss it)? We added the juice of the smaller half of a lime. We so enjoy your recipes and look forward to being on your mailing list (saw the link in previous post). Thank you! A taco Tuesday wind!

I think adding the lime juice is key. I was trying to figure somehow to cook or marinate the shrimp the same as beef , adding water , etc. I just used low sodium taco seasoning with extra garlic powder and added lime juice and  grilled on a panini grill. I heated the 6” corn tacos, added avocado,cheese and green chili sauce. Scrumptious!

If you are looking for fast weekday dinner idea - this is it! I added jalapenos to the slaw, we like it hot! And cayenne to the seasoning. Yuuum!
