Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce. 
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 servings).
  • Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
  • Core, then thinly slice jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)

2
Make coleslaw

  • In a large bowl, add mayo, half the lime zest, half the lime juice and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add coleslaw cabbage mix. Toss to combine.

3
Prep shrimp

  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

4
Cook shrimp and jalapeños

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until shrimp are cooked through.**
  • Add Mexican Seasoning, half the garlic puree and half the jalapeños. (Like things spicy? Add all the jalapeño!) Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.

5
Make crema and warm tortillas

  • Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add sour cream, remaining lime zest, remaining lime juice and 1 tsp garlic puree. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave for 1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)

6
Finish and serve

  • Arrange tortillas on a clean surface.
  • Top tortillas with shrimp and jalapeños and some coleslaw.
  • Dollop garlic-lime crema and guacamole over top.
  • Squeeze over a lime wedge, if you like.
  • Serve remaining coleslaw on the side.

7

If you've opted for double shrimp, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the regular portion of shrimp. Work in batches, if necessary.
