Best Adobo Shrimp Tacos With Smoked Bbq Chipotle Coleslaw Recipes

ADOBO SHRIMP TACOS WITH SMOKED BBQ CHIPOTLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• For Coleslaw:
• In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, coleslaw mix, cilantro, green onions and barbecue seasoning. Mix well, then taste and adjust the seasoning, as needed. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• For Tacos:
• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 °F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cornmeal; set aside. Season the shrimp with the adobo. Dredge the seasoned shrimp in the cornmeal mixture, and then add them to the hot oil 1 at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Cook's Note: If you prefer, grill the shrimp for a lighter dish.
• Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla, and heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of slaw in the center of the tortilla, then put 4 or 5 fried shrimp on top and fold like a taco. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Notes
• If making a low-fat version: substitute using light sour cream, light mayonnaise, whole-wheat tortillas and whole-wheat flour. Also, grill shrimp instead of deep-frying.

15-MINUTE SHRIMP TACOS WITH SPICY CHIPOTLE SLAW

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the shrimp, chili powder and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the canola oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp is no longer opaque and just cooked through, turning only once, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet with the dripping, using a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon scallions for garnish and add the rest to the skillet. Cook until the scallions are slightly softened, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the beans and a large pinch of salt and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• In a large bowl, stir together the chipotle mayonnaise, lime zest and juice and a large pinch of salt. Add the coleslaw mix and half of the cilantro and stir to combine.
• Serve the shrimp alongside the beans, coleslaw, remaining cilantro, scallions, sour cream or Mexican crema, lime wedges and warm tortillas.

• Put the shrimp in a medium size bowl and add the chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, cumin and salt. Mix together so that the shrimp is coated with the spices.
• In a medium size skillet add the oil. Then add the shrimp. Turn the shrimp as they cook until each side is lightly browned (about 6 minutes). Reserve the oil in the pan and remove the shrimp on to a cutting board or plate.
• Cut the shrimp in half and put them in a bowl. Then add the remaining olive oil from the pan to the bowl of cut shrimp and mix together.
• Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 10 to 12 seconds.Then top with the shrimp, onion, cilantro and the green and purple cabbage. Drizzle the adobo sauce on top. Serve while the tortilla is still warm and with a quarter piece of lime.
