Taco Tuesday: Spicy Shrimp Tacos

It's Taco Tuesday, so I can't think of a better way to celebrate the day than with these delicious spicy shrimp tacos. 

And I have to apologize for not sharing this recipe with you sooner. It's been a little family favorite secret since Alise found the recipe last Spring on the internet. And to say that we didn't enjoy this secret all summer, would be an understatement! Alise's friends have been in and out and every time they come back, THIS is the recipe they ask for! We've even changed it up a little bit by grilling the shrimp and it's even yummier! Don't let the plethora of ingredients scare you. This recipe is SO easy! 

Here's what you need to make these yummy tacos:

Ingredients

flour tortillas
1 lb. of shrimp, fresh or frozen/thawed
1 t. paprika
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. black pepper
1 T. oil
1/4 c. ranch dressing
1 T. Sriracha
1 c. shredded/chopped cabbage
1 jalapeno pepper, diced 
1-2 T. apple cider vinegar
1 T. honey
1 lime
1/8 t. salt
fresh chopped cilantro to taste

Sriracha Ranch Sauce - Stir together the ranch dressing and Sriracha. I usually double the sauce. 

Slaw Mixture - Stir the jalapeno pepper, apple cider, honey, lime, and salt together. Pour over the shredded cabbagge (I buy the slaw in the bag) and sprinkle with cilantro. I usually double the slaw because my family loves it so much. 

Season shrimp with the paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and then cook in oil until no longer pink. After the shrimp is done, cut into small pieces and layer on warm tortillas. Add the slaw and top with the sriracha ranch sauce. 

Wayne and Alise can't decide if it's the sauce or the slaw that make these tacos so good. You'll have to try them to see which one you think makes this recipe such a winner!
