Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb peeled shrimp with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 3/4 tsp salt. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, mix 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tsp honey in a separate bowl to form the slaw.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: Warm 8 small corn tortillas on the grill for 20 seconds per side until pliable.
  5. Step 5: Assemble tacos by dividing grilled shrimp evenly among tortillas and topping with generous spoonfuls of the cilantro slaw before serving.
