- 2 limes
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1¼ tsp kosher salt
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 chipotle in adobo minced, plus a spoonful of the sauce
- 1¼ lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 12 corn tortillas

Steps
Toss 3 cups coleslaw mix with the juice of 1 lime, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, and ¼ tsp kosher salt. Set aside to soften.
Stir together ⅓ cup sour cream, 1 chipotle in adobo, and the juice of ½ lime for the crema.
Pat 1¼ lb large shrimp dry and toss with 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 2 cloves garlic, and the rest of the salt (1 tsp kosher salt).
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp in a single layer, turning once, until pink and curled.
