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

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels and set aside.

In a larger bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the microwave. Mix the taco seasoning with the butter.

Toss in the shrimp and evenly coat them with the seasoned butter. Set aside.

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.

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.

In a large 12-inch skillet, melt the remaining butter over a medium high heat.

Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until no longer translucent. Move the shrimp around and turn etc.

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!
