So we are trying to eat healthier. No chocolate, no carbs, no beer, no snacks......who am I kidding.
But we are trying to have healthier dinners, and those delish shrimp tacos above fit the bill. They are easy for you working moms and the avocado-cliantro sauce goes oh so well. I found this recipe on Favorite Family Recipes..enjoy!
Shrimp Tacos (serves 2)
- COLESLAW:
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- -Toss and season with salt.
- CILANTRO DRESSING:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 3 Tbsp lime juice
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- -Mix thoroughly in a blender adding a little water if needed.
- SHRIMP:
- 1/2 pound shrimp
- pinch of sugar
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Peel shrimp, pat it dry, season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Heat oil over high heat and add shrimp. Cook until shrimp are curled and pink.
- Layer the sauce, shrimp, and cabbage in a warm corn tortilla. We topped it with a little cotija (or feta) cheese.
