Equipment

Ingredients

For the tacos:

  • 1 pound shrimp, tail off Thawed. Use my link for $30 off Butcher Box.
  • 3/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup butter or ghee
  • 1/2 tsp butter for cooking shrimp
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 6 whole tortillas click for my homemade Whole30 tortilla recipe. You can also use lettuce wraps for keto and whole30. I am gluten free so I just like to make sure I buy gluten free tortillas.

For the slaw:

  • 1 bag shredded slaw I like trader joe's brand. It is a mix of cabbage and carrots.
  • 1/2 cup avocado mayo Or regular mayo will work.
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dill

Optional to serve:

  • green onions
  • ranch

Instructions

For the slaw:

  • Chop up the cabbage into even smaller bite size pieces. Add the cabbage to a bowl with the dijon mustard, avocado mayo, apple cider vinegar, and dill. Mix until mixed throughout.

For the tacos:

  • Add the 1/2 tsp of butter to a pan and cook the shrimp for 3 minutes on each side for a total of 6 minutes. Slowly add in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ghee and mix. Remove the shrimp from the heat.
  • Add the slaw to the bottom of the taco, then add the shrimp with the optional green onions and ranch on top.
