1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (try chipotle or ancho)
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined (35-40 count)
4 cups finely shredded coleslaw mix (or green and red cabbage)
1 cup prepared guacamole (homemade is best)

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together cilantro, lime juice, oil, honey, chili powder, salt, cumin and pepper. Set aside.
Heat broiler to high. In medium-size bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the marinade and the shrimp. In second medium-size bowl, combine remaining marinade and the cole slaw mix. Let both marinate for 10 minutes.
