Directions: |
Directions:Begin by shredding both colors of cabbage and mixing with the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Mix it up well in a medium bowl and set aside to allow the flavors to set while you prepare the rest of the meal.
In another medium bowl add the corn, avocado, cucumber, tomato and onion. Mix well, then season with lime juice, salt and pepper.
For the shrimp, lay them out flat (make sure the tails are removed and all shells are gone!). Season both sides with lemon pepper, garlic salt, chili powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, marjoram and cilantro. Squeeze the lime all over the shrimp.
In a medium sauté pan, add the extra virgin olive oil and the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and the pan is coated, add the seasoned shrimp. Continue to stir the shrimp every so often until golden with a light char (about 5 minutes). While the shrimp is cooking add all the ingredients for the cilantro lime cream together and set it aside to add to the tacos.
Once the shrimp has cooked through, heat the tortillas. Line them up on a serving platter or plate and fill them with a bit of the shredded cabbage mix. Top it with a few spoonfuls of the avocado corn mixture. Add a few pieces of shrimp to each taco.
Serve with the cilantro lime cream, a few limes and a sprig of cilantro for garnish! |
