STEP 3
Place a warmed tortilla on a plate and top with shrimp, cheese (if using), tomatoes, lettuce, shredded cabbage, onions, guacamole, jalapenos and salsa. Squeeze fresh lime juice over tops.
Consider making a homemade cabbage slaw by combining different types of cabbage and mixing with olive oil or vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper.
RECIPE NOTE
RECIPE NOTE
Shrimp cooks very quickly, so keep a close eye to ensure it does not overcook, especially when using a pre-cooked variety.
I often omit the cheese from these tacos because cilantro lime sauce adds the perfect amount of flavor.
