Instructions
- Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth. Add water if needed to thin.
- Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage. We’ll use the leftover sauce to top the tacos.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp in a small bowl with the spice mix to get it coated. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
- For the prettiest and easiest-to-eat assembly, go in this order: smashed avocado, slaw, and shrimp. Finish with Cotija cheese, lime wedges, and extra sauce.
