Ingredients

  • Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
  • 1 cup 1 Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons 2 olive oil

  • 1 1 lime (juiced & strained)

  • 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 salt

  • 1 clove 1 minced garlic

  • 1/2 cup 1/2 fresh cilantro

  • Shrimp
  • 1 pound 1 small shrimp peeled, deveined, & tail-off (fresh or frozen and thawed)

  • 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 chipotle powder

  • salt & pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons 2 sweet chili sauce

  • Remaining Ingredients
  • 8 8 white corn tortillas

  • 2 cups 2 coleslaw

  • limes, sweet chili sauce, & fresh cilantro (as desired for serving)

Directions

  • Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
  • In a food processor or blender, add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, salt, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro. Blend until smooth and refrigerate while preparing the shrimp.
  • Shrimp
  • Place the shrimp, garlic powder, chipotle powder, salt & pepper in a large bowl and toss until the shrimp are well coated in the seasoning.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque. This should only take about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and toss in the sweet chili sauce.
  • Coleslaw
  • You can use whichever coleslaw you like, but I used angel hair green cabbage coleslaw. Toss the 2 cups of coleslaw in 1/4 cup of the cilantro yogurt sauce.
  • Assembly
  • Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, until warm.
  • To assemble, fill each tortilla with a generous amount of coleslaw and top with about 6 shrimp.
  • Top with additional cilantro yogurt sauce, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and fresh cilantro as desired.
