Steps:
- Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth.
- 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 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 Cotjia cheese, lime wedges, and extra sauce.

Steps:
- Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
- Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
- Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
- To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Tips:
- To save time, pre-cook the shrimp ahead of time. You can boil, grill, or pan-sear the shrimp, then let them cool and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the tacos.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to grease the pan well so the shrimp don't stick.
- For a spicier taco, use a hot chili sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the slaw.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought coleslaw mix instead of making your own. Just be sure to add some fresh cilantro and lime juice to brighten up the flavor.
- Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
These spicy shrimp tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and coated in a flavorful spicy sauce, while the slaw is fresh and tangy. Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
