Make Shrimp Tacos







Tacos are a popular dish because of their versatility and savory flavor. They can be prepared quickly and without fuss using almost any type of meat or fish for filling. Shrimp tacos can be just a touch more difficult to make than beef tacos, but the seafood taste they bring to the dish is irresistible. As an alternative to traditional barbecue dishes, you can also make shrimp tacos on a barbecue or grill using kabob skewers.


Instructions


1. Place the sour cream, mayonnaise, milk and cumin into a large bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and consistent.


2. Mix the butter and garlic together in a separate bowl until they are sufficiently blended.


3. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly and pat dry using paper towels.


4. Thread the shrimp and the wedges of lime onto the skewers, alternating one with the other.


5. Brush the garlic and butter mixture onto the shrimp.


6. Place the skewers on the grill and allow them to cook, approximately 3 minutes on each side. The shrimp should be pink throughout, and the lime pieces should be browned on the surface.


7. Place the shrimp and lime wedges on a large plate and sprinkle with salt to season.


8. Put the tortillas on the grill, or in a microwave oven, and warm them for about 30 seconds until they get warm.


9. Divide the shrimp evenly and add them to each tortilla. Leave the lime pieces on the plate.


10. Spoon the mayonnaise/sour cream mixture over the shrimp, then place the cabbage on top.


11. Serve the shrimp tacos with the lime pieces as a garnish. This makes approximately 8 shrimp tacos.
