Ingredients

  • 6 medium tortillas soft or hard shell
  • 2 pounds grilled shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium avocado cut into slices
  • 2 cups cabbage shredded
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • pico de gallo
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cilantro
  • lime wedges optional

Instructions

  • Assemble all ingredients as a make-your-own shrimp taco buffet while the grill heats to medium heat for grilling the shrimp. 
  • Sriracha Cream Sauce - Mix together sriracha sauce and sour cream to make sriracha cream sauce.
  • Grill Shrimp - Brush the grill with olive oil and cook the shrimp until it is pink and cooked well throughout, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and transfer to a platter.
  • Make shrimp tacos by layering assembled ingredients desired into your shrimp taco. 
  • Serve with additional cilantro and an optional lime wedge to squeeze onto shrimp tacos as they are served.

Notes

If you prefer shrimp tacos with cold shrimp, this makes a fabulous prep-ahead dish! Just grill your shrimp earlier and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve, then assemble and enjoy!
Frozen shrimp - Allow your frozen shrimp to thaw completely, rinse well, and then proceed with the recipe as instructed.
