We really like shrimp tacos ~ but the kicker here is the great
tangy slaw that only makes them better!
The fringe benefit is that the tacos have fewer calories, since neither
sour cream, nor shredded cheese is needed.
They were a big hit with us! The tangy dressing on the slaw was
perfect mingling with the shrimp. I
know, for sure, these tacos will be making a repeat performance here many
times…
The slaw makes a delicious side dish for ribs and burgers
too!
Coleslaw
Mix together:
2 cups shredded cabbage
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped parsley
For dressing, mix together:
3 tablespoons sugar (I used Splenda)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used Canola)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon seasoned pepper (my addition)
Add dressing to shredded cabbage mixture about an hour before serving.
Chill
For Shrimp Tacos
with Coleslaw:
Simply heat corn or flour tortillas and spoon in boiled (or roasted)
shrimp and the cole slaw.
ENJOY!
