Ingredients

Units Scale

Shrimp

  • 32 shrimp, 36-40 size
  • 4 teaspoons Chef Sandra’s Tex Mex seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • red onion, minced
  • 16 corn tortillas, street taco size

Jicama Slaw

  • 2 cups jicama, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup jalapeño, seeded, small dice
  • juice and zest of 2 limes
  • kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Chipotle Lime Crema

  • 1 cup crema
  • 4 chipotles with adobo sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • kosher salt

Instructions

Shrimp

  1. Toss the shrimp with Chef Sandra’s Tex Mex seasoning and olive oil. Set aside until you’re ready to grill.
  2. When you’re ready to grill, thread the shrimp on skewers. (I use one skewer for 8 shrimp which is the perfect amount of shrimp for each person.)
  3. Cook on a hot grill for about 2 minutes each side.

Jicama Slaw

  1. Mix together the jicama with the jalapeños and lime juice.
  2. Taste and season as needed.
  3. Stir in the chopped cilantro.

Chipotle Lime Crema

  1. Blend the crema, chipotles, lime juice, garlic, and white wine vinegar together in a blender or a food processor.
  2. Taste and season as needed.

Assembly

  1. Warm the street taco tortillas on a comal or on the grill.
  2. Spread a teaspoon or two of the chipotle crema on the tortilla.
  3. Top with two shrimp, followed by the a tablespoon or so of the slaw, red onion, and additional chipotle crema to taste.
  4. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Thin the chipotle crema with a tiny bit of water to make it more pourable, if desired.
  • Eight shrimp make 4 street-sized tacos which is the perfect amount for a meal for one person.
