Prepare the Cabbage Slaw.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, juice of half a lime, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the cabbage is evenly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Tip: Use a microplane to zest the lime before juicing for extra flavor in the slaw. -
Warm the Corn Tortillas.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place each corn tortilla in the skillet and warm for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are pliable and slightly toasted. Keep them warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
Tip: Warming tortillas makes them more flexible and prevents cracking when folding. -
Season and Reheat the Grilled Shrimp.
If your grilled shrimp is cold, warm it gently in the skillet for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with your choice of spices such as chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Tip: Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender and juicy. -
Assemble the Tacos.
Place half of the grilled shrimp on each warmed tortilla. Top with a generous amount of the cabbage slaw. Optionally, squeeze a little extra lime juice over the top for brightness.
Tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Pro tips
- Use fresh shrimp for the best taste and texture.
- If you prefer spicier tacos, add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to the slaw.
