Ingredients:
- 1 pound OceanBox Colossal Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup carrots, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (for topping)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the shrimp. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the mango slaw. In a large bowl, mix together the diced mango, red cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze the lime juice over the slaw and add honey if you prefer a touch of sweetness. Toss everything together until well combined. Set aside.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
4. While the shrimp is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or directly over the flame for a few seconds on each side until they are pliable.
5. To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top with a generous amount of mango slaw, and add slices of avocado if desired.
6. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
