Made to serve: 1-2
Scale:

Ingredients

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 small corn tortillas
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp Salted Perfection Chili Lime Finishing Salt
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp harissa paste
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, Salted Perfection Chili Lime Finishing Salt, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for 10 minutes like a boss.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add shrimp in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Don’t overcook, capisce?
  3. Meanwhile, warm tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for 20 seconds each side to get that nice char and pliability.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with harissa paste, diced shallot, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This sauce is the secret sauce, so don’t skip it.
  5. Toss shredded cabbage with lime juice and a pinch of salt to brighten and soften it up.
  6. Assemble your tacos: lay down cabbage, top with cooked shrimp, drizzle the harissa yogurt sauce, sprinkle chopped cilantro, and if you like a kick, add minced jalapeño.
  7. Serve immediately. Like a wiseguy says, 'Eat it while it's hot, or you'll be sleeping with the fishes!'

Tony’s Fine Print

They tell me every recipe needs a little fine print, so here’s mine. I do my best to keep things straight, no surprises and no sneaky allergens. The info you see here is put together with care, capisce? But kitchens are wild places and ingredients do not always behave. Always double-check the labels on what you buy, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If something does not look right, trust your gut (and your doctor) before you trust me. Bottom line: I am here to guide, not to diagnose. You cook, you taste, you take responsibility.

Deal? Good. Now let’s eat.
