Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 2 cups fresh green cabbage, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 limes, juiced
- 8 corn tortillas
- Salt, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
- Cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the slaw: In another bowl, combine shredded cabbage, finely chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil, then add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Warm the tortillas: In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the corn tortillas until pliable, about 30 seconds.
- Assemble the tacos: Place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top generously with slaw and diced avocado. A squeeze of extra lime juice before serving brightens everything up!
- Serve: Enjoy your vibrant tacos hot, garnished with lime wedges for added zest.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: You can prepare your slaw ahead of time, allowing the flavors to deepen. Just cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
