Cajun Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Slaw

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp
• 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
• 8 units corn tortillas
• 2 cups cabbage
• 1 unit lime
• 1 cup cilantro
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium avocado

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the spicy slaw. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 medium grated carrot.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture and toss until well combined. Set aside.

4. 4

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.

5. 5

   While the shrimp cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

6. 6

   To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top with the spicy slaw, and garnish with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
