Grilled Shrimp Tacos With Creamy Cilantro Sauce

By Tasty26 min🍽 12 servings

Savor the flavors of summer with these Grilled Shrimp Tacos, topped with a zesty Creamy Cilantro Sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a backyard BBQ, these tacos are sure to impress your taste buds.

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, season the shrimp with the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Skewer the shrimp onto 2 skewers, poking through the top and bottom of each shrimp and pushing down to the bottom of the skewer. Repeat to fill all of the skewers, about 4 shrimp per skewer.

  3. 3

    Right before you place the shrimp on the grill, brush each skewer with a generous amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill over high heat for 3 minutes, brush the top side with more olive oil, flip, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from the grill and remove the shrimp from the skewers.

  5. 5

    Make the creamy cilantro sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, cilantro, lime zest, salt, and lime juice.

  6. 6

    Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, and jalapeño. Pour half of the sauce over the cabbage, saving the other half for serving, and toss to combine.

  7. 7

    Assemble the tacos: Add some of the slaw to the tortillas, followed by the shrimp. Top with the creamy cilantro sauce, more cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  8. 8

    Enjoy!
