Direction
- In a large bowl, season the shrimp with the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
- Skewer the shrimp onto 2 skewers, poking through the top and bottom of each shrimp and pushing down to the bottom of the skewer. Repeat to fill all of the skewers, about 4 shrimp per skewer.
- Right before you place 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 cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from the grill and remove the shrimp from the skewers.
- Make the creamy cilantro sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, cilantro, lime zest, salt, and lime juice.
- Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, and jalapeño. Pour half of the sauce over the cabbage, saving the other half for serving, and toss to combine.
- Assemble the tacos: Add some of the slaw to the tortillas, followed by the shrimp. Top with the creamy cilantro sauce, more cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Enjoy!
