Shrimp Tacos

I was going to post the recipe for my fish tacos, but the day after I made those, we made these....and these ROCKED! You could actually put any type of fish inside these tacos....with the slaw and the sauce, of course!  I'm making them today, so I will update if I find a way to make them even yummier!

Shrimp Tacos

 For the Shrimp:

3 lbs fresh shrimp, de-veined (and de-pooped..lol)

1 cube butter

Juice from half of one lemon

4 cloves of garlic, minced

(I added about  1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder the last time I made these and I was NOT disappointed! This is totally optional, of course, but I suggest you give it a try!)

Slaw:

1pkg Cole Slaw

Juice of 2 limes

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/3 red onion, grated

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Sauce:

2 cups plain yogurt

1 1/2 tsp cayenne

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 cup cilantro

1 clove garlic

salt to taste

 Put ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

  Make sauce and slaw, chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Melt butter, add garlic, lemon juice and parsley. Dip shrimp into the butter mixture before you put onto the grill. Grill on both sides until shrimp is fully cooked. (I used a grill pan on the bbq, but you could also do this inside in a cast iron skillet)

Warm corn tortillas. Add shrimp, slaw and sauce.......enjoy!



P.S. I had left over shrimp, cole slaw and sauce the next day...going to Easter and decided to make an appetizer out of it. So, I fried some corn tortillas that I cut into squares....topped them with the slaw, then the shrimp, then the sauce......everyone loved them!
