Ingredients
Instructions
Mix together the ingredients for the Creamy Shrimp Taco Sauce.
Prep the cabbage and red onion, then toss them with the lime juice.
Pat the shrimp dry. In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with the Old Bay seasoning, cumin, salt, and garlic.
In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through, turning them with tongs. Spritz with juice of the two lime wedges.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375-450°F). Place shrimp directly on a grill for 1-2 minutes per side until bright pink and cooked through. Spritz with juice of the two lime wedges.
If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
To serve, place the cabbage and red onion in a tortilla, then top with shrimp. Squeeze with the juice of 2 lime wedges, then top with the taco sauce. Serve immediately.
