shrimp tacos recipe

Everyone loves tacos, and today, I have a recipe that’s one of my family’s favorites–shrimp tacos. This delicious recipe is extra tasty thanks to the chipotle ranch sauce and coleslaw. Of course, I think coleslaw makes a great topping for just about anything! Seriously though, these tacos are light and the flavor combination is amazing. Grill up your shrimp outdoors if you can, but if not, you’ll still love this recipe!

Shrimp Tacos with Chipotle Ranch Sauce & Coleslaw

Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs medium shrimp, peeled, de-veined, tails removed
Old Bay Seasoning
6 tortillas, taco sized

Slaw 

½ lb red cabbage, shredded
1 lb white cabbage, shredded
1 cup shredded carrots
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
¾ cup buttermilk
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp sugar

Chipotle Ranch Sauce 

¼ cup buttermilk
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup cilantro, lightly packed
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

Put slaw into the refrigerator to chill.
