Blackened Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Kale Slaw | Fridge to Fork

Blackened Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Kale Slaw


  • Author: Ellen
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 6 tacos 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups coleslaw mix (pre-shredded cabbage & carrots)
  • 2 cups kale, washed, stems removed, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 jalapeño, diced with seeds removed
  • 2 tbsp nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp blackening seasoning, or bbq rub
  • 18 large shrimp
  • 6 corn tortillas (I used Pinole Blue Pink Tortillas)

For the Spicy Cashew Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp hot sauce (I used Crystal)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  1. First, make the cashew sauce by adding all four ingredients to a large glass measuring cup. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Add coleslaw, chopped kale, and diced jalapeño to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  3. In small prep bowl, stir together yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss with greens. There should be just enough to lightly coat all the greens. Set aside.
  4. Peel shrimp and pat dry. In a prep bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons BBQ rub or blackening seasoning. I used this Trader Joe’s BBQ rub.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp oil of your choice (I used coconut oil) in large skillet over medium-high. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until opaque all the way through.
  6. Meanwhile, wet a paper towel and wring it out. Wrap the stack of tortillas in the paper towel and microwave on a plate for 30 seconds. 
  7. To build the tacos, place a handful of the slaw on each warm tortilla, topped with 3 shrimp. Drizzle with spicy cashew sauce.
