Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the shrimp

Peel and devein the large shrimp, leaving the tails on. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.

2
Make the shrimp marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3
Marinate the shrimp

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 10-15 minutes.

4
Prepare the slaw

Thinly slice the red cabbage and grate the carrots. In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage and carrots with the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

5
Make the creamy cilantro sauce

In a food processor or blender, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, juice of the remaining lime, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

6
Grill the shrimp

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

7
Warm the tortillas

Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warm and pliable.

8
Assemble the tacos

Remove the shrimp from the skewers and divide them evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with the slaw and a generous drizzle of the creamy cilantro sauce.

9
Serve the grilled shrimp tacos

Serve the grilled shrimp tacos immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
