Amazing Shrimp Tacos

I found this recipe on a food blog, and it looked good. Good enough to try. :) I was surprised by how much I loved it! It tasted fresh and is now one of my favorite meals. It took me 20 minutes to make, super easy.

Corn tortillas
Shrimp, peeled and de-veined (use 3 per taco, so as many as you'll need.)
sugar
salt and pepper
olive oil

Heat oil in pan over med-heat. I used pre-cooked frozen shrimp, so just defrost, put it in the pan, sprinkled on a pinch of sugar and salt and pepper, tossed them around, and turned off the heat. If using raw, cook till pink and start to curl up.

Drizzle a little bit of oil in pan/skillet and heat up the corn tortillas.

Slaw:
half head of cabbage, sliced thinly
1 lime, squeezed
salt
pepper


Sauce:
1/2 avocado
1/4 c mayo
salt, pepper
3 T lime juice
cayenne, or spicy seasoning of your choice, per taste
1/2 c. cilantro

Blend in blender till smooth.

I serve this with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Fill tacos and enjoy!
