Delicious and Easy!

I held a dinner party for my parents on Sunday night. The wildly popular Shrimp Tacos went over very well I think. 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 small cabbage (8 ounces), shredded
  • 1 cup corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears, or frozen and thawed)
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 8 small flour tortillas, warmed

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the orange and lime juices, sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the cabbage, corn, and jalapeño and toss to combine. Let sit, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Serve the shrimp with the tortillas and the slaw.


Try them for yourself!
