Recipe
Step 1: In a medium bowl, peel and marinate shrimp with spices listed. Cover and refrigerate while making the other parts of the recipe.
Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, combine ingredients for Mango Salsa. Set aside.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, combine ingredients for Shrimp Taco Sauce. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4: Combine 2 Tbsp Taco sauce with shredded cabbage and set aside.
Step 5: In a large pan, heat the oil on medium heat. When hot, add the flour tortillas, one at a time. Brown on each side, remove from pan and make as many as needed. We usually make 8 of them. Add extra oil as needed.
Step 6: Cook shrimp: Over medium heat, add shrimp in batches and cook on both sides, about 30 seconds each until shrimp is slightly curled.
To assemble the tacos, place a tortilla on a large plate. Spread taco sauce on the bottom. Place cabbage mixture on top of this, add quantity of shrimp desired and Mango Salsa on top. Fold and enjoy!
