Grilled, fried or sauteed, shrimp tacos are one of my favorite ways to switch up the protein when I&#8217;m making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-foods-take\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-foods-take\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mexican recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For this shrimp taco recipe, we fill tortillas with seasoned and sauteed shrimp, then top them with a creamy cabbage slaw and crumbled Cotija. There&#8217;s lots of texture and flavor, and because they&#8217;re well-seasoned, even picky eaters will appreciate this seafood dinner. It&#8217;s one of my favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/juicy-shrimp-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/juicy-shrimp-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">juicy shrimp recipes<\/a>, and soon, it will be one of yours too!<\/p>\n<h2>Shrimp Taco Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shrimp:<\/strong> There are lots of different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of shrimp<\/a>, but for this recipe, you&#8217;ll need uncooked, peeled and deveined large shrimp. Aim for about 31 to 40 per pound. If fresh shrimp are unavailable, substitute frozen shrimp and let them thaw before cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> Sour cream is such a magical ingredient. In this recipe, it&#8217;s the base of the sauce, and it adds a wonderful creamy texture against the crispy cabbage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> This is a great way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-mayonnaise\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-mayonnaise\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">use up a jar of mayonnaise<\/a>. Just a bit of mayo mixed with the sour cream creates a creamy and delicious sauce for the cabbage and for a drizzle on the tacos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> Cilantro is a particularly tasty herb used in all sorts of Mexican recipes, but if you think it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-scientific-reason-why-cilantro-tastes-like-soap\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-scientific-reason-why-cilantro-tastes-like-soap\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tastes like soap<\/a>, you can skip it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions:<\/strong> Sliced green onions add a slightly peppery flavor to the sour cream. Use the whole green onion, not just the green parts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lime juice:<\/strong> It&#8217;s not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/taco-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/taco-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taco recipe<\/a> without a big squeeze of lime to top it all off. Make sure to serve some on the side as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jalapeno:<\/strong> Some finely chopped jalapeno adds a touch of heat to these shrimp tacos. If you like even more heat, you can go heavier, or leave them out if you don&#8217;t want any spice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Garlic is a key aromatic in the slaw. Freshly minced garlic packs more flavor than garlic powder, which works better in the shrimp seasoning blend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cabbage:<\/strong> Use fresh, shredded cabbage for the cabbage slaw topping. You&#8217;ll want to shred it as thinly as possible for tacos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasoning:<\/strong> You probably already have these spices in your pantry: Chili powder, salt, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper. You&#8217;ll add them to the skillet with the shrimp, so they toast up and give the shrimp lots of delicious flavoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tortillas:<\/strong> It&#8217;s not a taco without tortillas! Use store bought ones or try your hand at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-tortillas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-tortillas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade tortillas<\/a>. Use either flour or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-corn-tortillas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-corn-tortillas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">corn tortillas<\/a>, whatever your preference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cotija cheese:<\/strong> If you haven&#8217;t topped a taco with crumbled Cotija cheese, then you&#8217;re in for a tasty treat. This cheese is important in Mexican food and is used everywhere from tacos to soups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make sauce<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, green onion, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic and salt. Mix well and set aside. In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with a 1\/2 cup of the sour cream mixture. Save the remaining sour cream mixture for serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Cook shrimp<\/h3>\n<p>In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. When it&#8217;s ready to go, add the shrimp and seasonings. Cook and stir often until the shrimp turn pink, about four to six minutes. Remove from the heat immediately so you don&#8217;t overcook the shrimp.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Serve shrimp tacos<\/h3>\n<p>To serve, top each tortilla with some cabbage mixture, sauteed shrimp, a dollop of the sour cream mixture, Cotija cheese and, if desired, avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fry them up:<\/strong> Instead of sauteing the shrimp, try frying them. Use this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/popcorn-shrimp-tacos-with-cabbage-slaw\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/popcorn-shrimp-tacos-with-cabbage-slaw\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">popcorn shrimp tacos<\/a> recipe as an example.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn them into lettuce cups:<\/strong> Instead of using tortillas, spoon the shrimp and slaw into lettuce cups for a carb-free option. Use a broad leaf lettuce like Bibb or romaine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some salsa:<\/strong> There are so many different sauces and salsas that are wonderful on tacos. Try one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-salsa-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-salsa-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">salsa recipes<\/a> or pick up something fun from the store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Shrimp Tacos<\/h2>\n<p>Store your shrimp in the fridge separately from the tortillas and the sauce, so nothing gets soggy. We don&#8217;t recommend freezing this dish.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do shrimp tacos last?<\/h3>\n<p>The shrimp will stay good for up to four days in the fridge in an airtight container, and the sour cream mixture will last for up to a week.<\/p>\n<h2>Shrimp Tacos Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>How do you clean and devein shrimp?<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to clean shrimp<\/a> is a useful kitchen skill, especially if you love seafood as much as I do. Use a small paring knife to cut a shallow slit on the back of the shrimp, then pull out the black vein using the tip of the knife. If you&#8217;re cooking shrimp at home pretty frequently, buying shrimp you have to clean and devein yourself will save you a bit of money.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with shrimp tacos?<\/h3>\n<p>Shrimp tacos are a meal in themselves!
