The Country Cook

Fresh, flavorful and hearty, these Shrimp Tacos are made with perfectly seasoned shrimp and covered with a creamy sauce and homemade coleslaw!

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, (deveined, shelled, tails removed)
4 Tablespoons salted butter, (divided use)
1 packet taco seasoning ((1 ounce))
6-8 flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream ((or Greek yogurt))
1 clove garlic
1 small shallot
½ small jalapeno (seeded (optional))
¼ cup cilantro
¼ teaspoon salt
zest and juice of 2 limes
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 cups tri-color coleslaw mix
Optional Extras: Avocado, sour cream, chopped tomatoes (typical taco toppings)

Method

1
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels and set aside.
2
In a larger bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the microwave. Mix the taco seasoning with the butter.
3
Toss in the shrimp and evenly coat them with the seasoned butter. Set aside.
4
Add the sour cream, garlic, shallot, jalapeño, cilantro, salt and lime zest and juice to a food processor. Pour the olive all over and process for about 30 seconds to make a nice dressing.
5
Take half of this dressing and mix with the coleslaw. Reserve the other half for later. It will seem a little liquidy but it will thicken after a while.
6
In a large 12-inch skillet, melt the remaining butter over a medium high heat.
7
Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until no longer translucent. Move the shrimp around and turn etc.
8
Remove from the heat. Scoop a small serving of coleslaw in a tortilla, add about 3 shrimp then drizzle the dressing on top. Continue with the rest and serve!
