Method
Make the Slaw
In a large bowl, add the green and red cabbage, cilantro, red onion and Chipotle Ranch. Toss to combine then set aside while you cook the shrimp.
Cook the Shrimp
- Pat dry the shrimp and add to a large bowl. Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Toss to coat the shrimp.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and the shrimp and spread into a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through; 2-3 minutes per side.
Assemble the Tacos
First, warm the tortillas. You can do this 2 ways:
--For a Gas Stovetop: Fire up the burners on your stove to the lowest setting. One at a time, carefully place a tortilla directly on the burner and flip after about 45 seconds. As you finish cooking the tortillas, place them onto a towel and close the towel up to steam the tortillas and keep them warm.
--For an Electric Stovetop: Place the tortillas in a dry (no oil) stainless steel skillet over medium heat and cook them for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Place the slaw on the bottom of each tortilla and top with the shrimp. Garnish with cilantro, your favorite hot sauce (if using) and serve with a lime wedge for squeezing.
