"This is a recipe that I picked up from Lindsay at pinchofyum.com. Kuddos to her because it was absolutely delicious! Restaurant quality and so easy to make. My daughter and I breaded the shrimp and feasted all day."

ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup oil
¹⁄₄ cup water
¹⁄₂ cup chopped green onion
¹⁄₂ cup cilantro leaf
2 -3 garlic cloves (less if you're sensitive to garlicky things)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 limes, juice of
¹⁄₂ cup sour cream
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon southwest seasoning
¹⁄₄ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
2 -3 cups shredded green cabbage
8 small corn tortillas
1 -2 avocado
Cotija cheese, and additional cilantro for topping
lime wedge, for serving

directions

Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.
