How to cook deliciously - Blackened Shrimp Tacos

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them on a baking sheet or pan.

2 . Stage

Season the shrimp: In a large bowl combine the shrimp, blackening seasoning, and salt.

3 . Stage

Warm the tortillas: Bake the foil-wrapped tortillas until the they are warmed through, about 10 minutes. (If your tortillas are done before you finish the slaw and shrimp, turn off the oven, and leave the tortillas inside to stay warm until you are ready to assemble.)

4 . Stage

Make the cabbage slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, mayo, sugar, black pepper, and white vinegar.

5 . Stage

Cook the shrimp: In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add in the oil. Once it’s hot, add the shrimp. Cook, until the shrimp have slightly browned on the outside and they have cooked through turning pink throughout, flipping halfway through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

6 . Stage

Assemble the tortillas: Place the tortillas in a serving platter or plates. Divide the shrimp and slaw equally between the tortillas.

7 . Stage

Garnish and serve: Garnish with cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges. Serve.

8 . Stage

Storage: I recommended eating the assembled tacos that same day! If you have leftover shrimp or slaw feel free to store in separate air tight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
