Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Cilantro Lime Slaw

I have been wanting to do a

seafood taco for a while now.

I tried just a basic fish one

years ago and we were not

a big fan of them. I am definitely

going to give these a try though!

Yields 4 (2 small tacos each)

Garlic Cilantro Lime Sauce:

1/4c evoo

1/4c water

1/2c chopped green onions

1/2c cilantro leaves

2 cloves garlic

1/2tsp salt

2 limes juiced

1/2c sour cream or

greek yogurt

Shrimp Taco Spice Mix:

2tsp chili powder

2tsp cumin

1/2tsp onion powder

1/2tsp garlic powder

1/4tsp cayenne pepper

1tsp sea salt

For the Shrimp Tacos:

1lb shrimp, tails removed

2-3c shredded green cabbage

8 small tortillas

*Optional:

Avocados, Cotija Cheese

and Lime Wedges for serving

Sauce:

Put all your sauce ingredients

into the blender until mostly smooth.

Slaw:

Toss some of the sauce

(not all) with the cabbage.

You'll use the leftover sauce

to top the tacos.

Shrimp:

Toss the shrimp in a small bowl

with the spice mix to get it coated.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large

skillet over medium high heat.

Add the shrimp to the hot pan

and saute for 5-8 minutes

flipping occasionally. Until shrimp

is cooked through.

Assembly:

For the easiest to eat assembly

go in this order; smashed avocado

slaw and shrimp. Finish with

cotija cheese, lime wedges

and extra sauce.

So when I found this DIY project I just had to share! DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape). Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features.
