Shrimp Tacos

This is a recipe that I adapted after eating with my daughter-in-law, Jessica, and it is a family favorite!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp (I've used fresh or frozen)
3 Tablespoons taco seasoning
3-4 Tablespoons butter
4 cups bagged. shredded slaw mix
2 teaspoons sugar
1 Tablespoon vinegar
2-4 Tablespoons mayo (depending on how sloppy you like your slaw)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 Tablespoons guacamole or sour cream
1/2 cup chopped, green onions
6 flour tortillas
Salsa

Instructions:

  • Mix together slaw mix, sugar, 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, mayo, and vinegar to make coleslaw and refrigerate till ready to serve
  • Chop shrimp into bite-sized pieces
  • Melt butter in a non-stick skillet
  • Drop shrimp and green onions into melted butter and stir to coat the pieces
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning onto shrimp and stir to coat
  • Cook shrimp just until the liquid is cooked away and a little color/crust is formed on places
To serve:
  • Layer flour tortilla, slaw, shrimp and onions, cheese, salsa, and guacamole or sour cream
  • Fold tortilla and eat like a traditional taco or add another layer and eat with a fork
  • We've also been known to add other taco ingredients such as sliced, black olives and tomatoes and chopped peppers
