Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:
1 pound medium shrimp,
peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste

Soak the skewers in a pan of water for at least an hour, ideally overnight. In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.

Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, heat the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.

To serve: Place a heaping spoonful of the red cabbage slaw onto each corn tortilla. Top with the shrimp and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.
