Coconut Lime Shrimp Tacos

Ingredients


















Method


  • 1Combine coconut milk, 1 tbsp lime juice, ginger, garlic, honey, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp sea salt in a medium bowl. Add shrimp, toss to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.


  • 2While shrimp marinates, prepare the slaw: In a separate bowl, combine shredded cabbage, mango, red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño, 1 tbsp lime juice, rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Toss gently to combine and set aside.


  • 3Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add marinated shrimp in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.


  • 4While shrimp cooks, warm tortillas. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds, or heating them individually in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side.


  • 5Assemble tacos by spooning a generous amount of slaw into each warm tortilla, then topping with 3-4 pieces of cooked shrimp.


  • 6Garnish each taco with a slice of fresh avocado and an extra sprinkle of cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes


  • For a dairy-free option, ensure your tortillas are dairy-free. This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using corn tortillas.

  • The mango-jalapeño slaw can be prepared up to an hour in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño or red pepper flakes to your preferred level of heat. For less heat, omit the jalapeño seeds entirely.
