Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large or jumbo sized shrimp
- 1 Tbsp hot honey (I use Mike’s hot honey)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lime, juice of (~2 tablespoon lime juice)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1½ cups shredded carrots (~2 large carrots)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil mayonnaise (or your favorite mayo)
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp hot honey (or regular honey)
- ½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lime juice (1 small lime)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- tortillas (I use corn tortillas or Siete almond flour tortillas)
- toppings of choice (diced avocado, salsa verde, feta cheese, fresh cilantro or wedge of lime work great)
Instructions
- Prep shrimp: If using frozen shrimp, thaw first. Clean and devein your raw shrimp. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine the deveined shrimp, olive oil, hot honey, lime juice, and spice mixture until each shrimp is coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- If making these shrimp in the air fryer, spread them in an even layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. If cooking the shrimp in a skillet, heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.
- While the shrimp is cooking, shred cabbage and carrots and set aside. In a large bowl, add the dressing ingredients and whisk well to combine.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots on top of the dressing and mix until the vegetables are well coated.
- Assemble the tacos by warming your tortillas and adding the coleslaw, shrimp, and your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Adjust the level of hot honey based on your spice preference.
- You can substitute the olive oil mayonnaise with any preferred mayonnaise.
- Feel free to add other toppings as desired.
