These shrimp tacos are a pretty healthy option for dinner, especially when you cut the tortillas in quarters. You could substitute the mayo with yogurt in the coleslaw recipe if you’d prefer. also, you can buy low-carb tortillas. You just have to play around with things to see what fits your taste and diet needs. Anything in moderation is fine, as I’ve said before, you just have to watch your calories and carbs especially for heart-healthy or diabetic diets.
You know cooking isn’t just about throwing things in an instapot or a microwave. it’s really about the joy of cooking, tasting your food, and making it. The pleasure of feeding others and seeing how much they enjoy it. Cooking does come from the heart. There’s just something about adding all the ingredients and tasting it to make it exactly as you want it. To bring out the flavors that taste good to you. Stirring it and watching it grow into something very beautiful. And then to put it on a plate is like a piece of art. The plate is like a canvas for everyone to enjoy. Plating food is what makes it appetizing. If it’s pretty then you’ll want to eat it…..
So as you can see from my recipes I love seafood and making inexpensive dishes. I am always looking for sales and will buy it then put it in the freezer for later.
Shrimp Tacos With A Zesty Slaw
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp
- 1 Tbs Butter
- 2 Tbs Cooking Oil
- Garlic Powder to taste
- 1 bunch of Cilantro (a few springs to garnish)
- 1 Lime
- Cold slaw (See recipe)
- 4 large Tortillias
- Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Peel and clean shrimp well. Already deveined is preferred.
- Get your skillet really hot with the cooking oil. (I like the cast iron skillet, It gives the shrimp a nice flavor.)
- Pat the shrimp with a dry paper towel, this will reduce splattering
- Drop them carefully into the skillet
- Cook them on each side for 2 to 3 minutes depending on the size. You want them pink and golden brown on the outside.
- At the very end just before they're done cooking you want to throw the butter and garlic in. They come out so sweet and wonderful.
- Take the large tortillas and cut them into 4 pieces.
- Put them in another large skillet on medium heat with some nonstick cooking spray or oil to heat up. This only takes about 30 secs on each side.
- Pull them out of the pan and place them on a plate. Place some coleslaw in the center, add 3-4 shrimp on top, garnish with cilantro and sriracha to taste. Squeeze some fresh lime juice over it all. Easy Breezy...
