Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 8 small tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Start by preparing the shrimp. Pat them dry and place them in a bowl. Add olive oil, honey, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp are evenly coated in that rich, glossy marinade.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. They cook quickly—just 2–3 minutes per side—so keep an eye on them. As they cook, the marinade thickens into a sticky glaze that clings to each piece.
- While the shrimp cooks, warm your tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a flame for a slight char.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with lime juice to create a simple, tangy sauce.
- Now it’s time to assemble. Place a portion of shrimp onto each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle the lime cream over the top.
- Serve immediately while the shrimp is warm and the tortillas are soft.
Notes
- Each bite delivers a burst of smoky heat, sweetness, and refreshing crunch.
