SHRIMP TACOS WITH PICKLED CABBAGE AND AVOCADO CREMA
Tacos are the eighth wonder of the world-they even have their own day of the week. We love tacos al pastor and barbacoa, but most of all we love fish or shrimp tacos. They're light, balanced and endlessly customizable. Today we are making a spicy shrimp taco with avocado crema, inspired by one of our favorites from Trejo's Tacos in Los Angeles.

Steps:
- For the pickled cabbage: Whisk together the white vinegar and sugar in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cabbage and jalapeno and mix to combine. Season with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the shrimp: In a blender, puree 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the adobo peppers, garlic, tomato paste, honey and lime juice until smooth. Pour into a large mixing bowl and add the shrimp, tossing to evenly coat. Preheat the broiler to high.
- For the avocado crema: Put the avocado, lime zest and juice, olive oil, cilantro and sour cream in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Put the sliced red onion in a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the shrimp on a sheet pan in an even layer. Scatter the onion slices around the shrimp. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Heat the corn tortillas on both sides on a griddle or over an open flame on your stovetop burner.
- Assemble the tacos, layering each tortilla with the avocado crema, shrimp and pickled cabbage. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
SHRIMP TACOS
I got the idea for these shrimp tacos from a favorite restaurant. The shrimp is sauteed in honey butter, topped with a delicious mango salsa, and wrapped in a tortilla. It tastes worth a million bucks yet is so simple. Everyone will be begging for more.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 3 tbsp avocado oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Add in prepped shrimp, stir to coat all the shrimp with marinade. Place in refrigerator and marinate for max 30 minutes.
- While the shrimp is marinating, in a food processor add the avocado crema ingredients: avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, yogurt, olive oil, water and kosher salt. Pulse until all the ingredients are smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add another tbsp of water. Set aside.
- Using a mandoline or knife, shred the cabbages. Place in a small bowl, add a few spoons of the avocado crema and toss to combine. Save the rest of the crema to drizzle over the tacos at the end.
- You can either cook the shrimp in a cast iron skillet or grill them. Over medium/high heat place the shrimp into the skillet. Ensure they are all laid flat into the pan and not on top of each other, this will allow for even cooking. Depending on the size of the shrimp, they will cook in about 4-6 minutes. Flip halfway through to get a nice char/color on each side. If grilling, skewer them so they do not fall through the grates (see note on cooking shrimp).
