Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Sriracha Slaw

Enjoy these on a weeknight or lazy Sunday afternoon. They come together in just a few minutes. Though I’ve written this to serve two, it scales easily.

Ingredients:

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 ounce mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lime
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • 2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or more)
  • 2 cup shredded green cabbage
  • several sprigs of cilantro (optional)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange half of the tortillas in a single layer over the parchment paper. Divide shredded cheese evenly among the tortillas and top with a second tortilla. Bake for about 5 minutes, until tortillas are warm and cheese has melted.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Squeeze lime half evenly over shrimp and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • To make the spicy slaw, add mayonnaise, sour cream and sriracha to the bottom of a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add shredded cabbage and toss to coat.
  • Top each double tortilla shell with 3 shrimp then divide the slaw evenly among the tacos. Add a sprig of cilantro to each taco if desired. Serve.
