- 1 lb Shrimp
- 8 Tortillas Corn or Flour
- 1/2 cup Mayo
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 Limes
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 14 Ounce Bag of Cole Slaw
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 avocado optional
Prepare the cole slaw by mixing the bag of slaw, 1/2 the bunch of cilantro (leaves and stems), juice of 2 limes, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
With an immersion blender, blend together the mayo, juice of one lime, garlic cloves, 1/2 the bunch of cilantro (leaves and stems), 1 tbsp of adobo sauce, and 1 chipotle pepper. Leave out the pepper for less spicy tacos.
Remove the peels and tails from the shrimp. Pat dry with a paper towel. Toss in seasonings to coat.
Preheat a saute pan on medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Cook the shrimp until pink and no longer translucent, about 4 minutes.
Serve with slaw, shrimp, and sauce all piled on one tortilla. Can also be topped with avocado.
