Ingredients
- Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime (juiced & strained)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- Shrimp
1 pound small shrimp peeled, deveined, & tail-off (fresh or frozen and thawed)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- Remaining Ingredients
8 white corn tortillas
2 cups 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.
Very delicious! Love the cilantro yogurt sauce.
