Steps:
- In a large bowl, season shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
- Using 2 bamboo or metal skewers, poke through the top and bottom of the shrimp and push down to the bottom of the skewer.
- Add 3 more shrimp to the same skewer and repeat until all of the shrimp are used.
- Right before you put the shrimp on the grill, brush each skewer with a generous amount of olive oil, to prevent sticking.
- Grill over high heat for 3 minutes, brush the top side with more olive oil, flip, and let cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Remove from skewers & set aside for taco assembly.
- In a bowl, combine all creamy cilantro sauce ingredients. Stir well to combine.
- In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, red cabbage, and minced jalapeño. Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the cabbage, saving the other half for extra sauce to put on the tacos.
- Assemble the tacos on corn tortillas. Add the cabbage mixture, followed by the shrimp. Top with the creamy cilantro sauce, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- For the shrimp: Place the shrimp, limes and onions in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the oil, salt, cloves, lime juice and chipotle in a small bowl. Pour over the shrimp in the bag and seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- For the tropical salsa: Meanwhile, combine the pineapple, avocado, cactus, jalapenos and mangoes in a medium bowl. Add the cilantro, vinegar, oil and epazote and toss to combine. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- For assembly: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Place the shrimp on the grill over direct heat and cook, turning once, until they are charred and the flesh is pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the cooked shrimp to the salsa and toss to combine. Sprinkle with salt. To serve, whisk together the crema, adobo, lime zest and lime juice in a small bowl. Build the tacos starting with a corn tortilla, add 4 to 5 shrimp, 1/4 cup tropical salsa, a drizzle of the crema mixture and some cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Use large, fresh shrimp for the best results.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder will add extra flavor and tenderness.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Make your own tortillas: Homemade tortillas are softer and more flavorful than store-bought tortillas. If you don't have time to make your own, use the best quality store-bought tortillas you can find.
- Load up the tacos: In addition to the shrimp, add your favorite taco toppings such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
These grilled shrimp tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
