Shrimp Tacos

Let's cook

1. 1

   Dry the shrimp

   Pat the shrimp completely dry and toss with the chilli powder, paprika, cumin, and salt. Wet shrimp steam instead of searing.

2. 2

   Make the slaw

   Toss the cabbage and red onion with half the lime juice and a good pinch of salt. Leave 10 minutes — it softens slightly and seasons through.

3. 3

   Mix the crema

   Stir the sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle, and remaining lime juice together, loosening with a splash of water.

4. 4

   Sear fast and hot

   Cook the shrimp in the oil over high heat for 90 seconds a side, until pink and just opaque. Remove immediately.

   💡

   Shrimp overcook in seconds. Pull them the moment they curl into a loose C.

5. 5

   Warm the tortillas

   Char the tortillas directly over a flame or in a dry pan for 15 seconds a side.

6. 6

   Build

   Fill with slaw, shrimp, and avocado, then drizzle with crema and top with cilantro.
