Easy Shrimp Tacos with The Best Sauce

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

Prepare the ingredients for the slaw by measuring out 2 and 1/2 cups of shredded green cabbage, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1/4 cup of chopped onion.

In a blender, combine the cabbage, garlic, onion, 1 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of diamond crystal kosher salt, 2 ounces of fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup of packed cilantro, and 1 jalapeno.

Blend the ingredients until smooth, tasting and adjusting seasoning as necessary.

Set aside half of the sauce for later use and mix the other half into the shredded cabbage to coat it thoroughly.

Let the slaw sit covered while preparing the shrimp.

For the shrimp, dry 1 pound of shrimp and mix with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of diamond crystal kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon of ancho chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of cumin.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the shrimp mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a touch of oil.

Sauté the shrimp in the hot pan until they are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side until opaque.

Warm the tortillas in the same pan, using either flour or corn tortillas as preferred.
