PREPARATION
PREPARING THE GARLIC CILANTRO LIME SAUCE
1.
Pulse ¼ cup oil, ¼ cup water, ½ cup chopped green onions, ½ cup cilantro leaves, 2-3 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and juice of 2 limes in a food processor.
2.
When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
PREPARING THE SHRIMP TACOS
3.
Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat.
4.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste).
5.
Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
6.
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.
7.
To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with coleslaw, a few pieces of shrimp and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.
