Equipment

  • 1 Flattop Griddle
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients

  • 8 taco size flour tortillas
  • 2 lb large shrimp raw and peeled
  • 2 cups coleslaw

Seasoning for the Shrimp

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Avocado Cilantro Sour Cream

  • 1 tablespoon cilantro
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 avocado

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix peeled raw shrimp with canola oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and red pepper flakes.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix avocado, sour cream and chopped cilantro. If making homemade coleslaw make sure that is prepped ahead of time in a large bowl.
  • On a greased flat top griddle, cook your shrimp until done on medium heat. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Place your tortillas on the griddle.
  • Assemble your tacos on the griddle. Add the coleslaw first, then the shrimp and the avocado cilantro sour cream on top. Fold the taco in half and allow the tortilla to slightly crisp. Flip the taco and allow the other side to slightly crisp. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • 2 cups as the measurement for coleslaw is an approximation.  This amount can be increased or decreased depending on the amount desired with each taco.
  • make sure your griddle is properly seasoned.
