Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Grilled Shrimp Tacos.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, and mayonnaise. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together enchilada sauce, jalapeños, honey, lime juice, and salt to create a spicy sauce.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss together shredded cabbage, scallions, olive oil, vinegar, and chopped cilantro to make a refreshing slaw.
Step 5
Heat tortillas in a frying pan over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds on each side, then keep them warm.
Step 6
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill them for about 5 minutes, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
Step 8
Assemble the tacos by placing grilled shrimp in each tortilla, then top with the spicy sauce and slaw.
