Description
A delightful fusion of traditional taco elements with a vibrant Mediterranean flair, featuring succulent shrimp, fresh cabbage, and a creamy yogurt sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16–24 Argentine red shrimp
- Juice from 1/4 lemon
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon za’atar
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 3/4 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 tablespoons reserved sauce
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 6 warm corn taco shells
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, za’atar, oregano, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly and let marinate for about 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, dill, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil. Stir until well incorporated.
- In another bowl, add the shredded cabbage, reserved sauce, and crumbled feta. Toss gently until well combined.
- Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, cooking for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- Spread a layer of the sauce inside each taco shell, top with 2-4 shrimp, and finish with the slaw. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor. Swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative if needed.
