  • 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

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss shrimp in Old Bay Seasoning until well-coated. Preheat your grill to 350-450 degrees, and cook the shrimp over medium direct heat for five to seven minutes.
  • For the slaw, in a small bowl, mix together buttermilk, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, lemon zest, and juice.
  • Add the cabbage and carrots to a large bowl. Pour wet mixture over the cabbage and carrots, then toss to mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Put slaw into the refrigerator to chill.
  • Next, make your Chipotle Ranch Sauce. Add all of the ingredients to your blender, and blend well.
  • To assemble your tacos, start by adding a tablespoon of the chipotle ranch sauce to the middle of your tortilla. Add ⅙ of the cooked shrimp. Top with slaw-- as much as desired, then top with a drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce.
  • Finish by sprinkling a few green onions on top. Serve immediately.
