Equipment
- Skillet
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 teaspn garlic powder
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tspn lime juice
- 3 portions shrimp
- 2 tbsp chipotle adobo sauce
- 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, I stir together the ingredients for chipotle crema. I set it aside.
- In another bowl, I combine cabbage, lime juice, honey, and salt. Stirring well, I refrigerate it until serving.
- Blotting the shrimp dry with a paper towel, I combine them with chili powder, cumin, oregano, chipotle powder, salt, and garlic powder, ensuring they're evenly coated with spices.
- Coating the bottom of a large skillet with oil, I heat it over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Adding the shrimp, I pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they're lightly charred.
- Dividing the slaw onto tortillas, I top them with shrimp, avocado slices, chipotle crema, and cotija cheese.
Notes
- I adjust the spice levels according to my preference.
- Ensuring the shrimp are cooked through but not overcooked is key for optimal taste and texture.
