hot honey lime shrimp tacos with cilantro yogurt sauce______________________________Sticky shrimp coated in a lime hinted hot honey sauce and finished with a cooling cilantro yogurt drizzle. Don't even try to tell me you don't have 20 minutes to make tacos. I dare you.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup arugula or slaw
- 4 oz feta cheese
- pickled red onions, to serve
cilantro yogurt sauce
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 cloves garlic
- kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the honey, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic, black pepper, red pepper, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Pat shrimp dry and set into a large bowl. Pour 1/2 of the hot honey sauce over the shrimp and toss to combine.
- Heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Set shrimp in the pan, with no overlap. Cook 2 minutes. Flip and pour half of the reserved sauce onto the shrimp. Cook an additional 2 minutes. Finish with the remaining sauce, tossing constantly until the honey caramelizes onto the shrimp.
- To make the cilantro yogurt sauce, blitz the avocado, yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Pour into a small bowl.
- To assemble the tacos, smear yogurt sauce on the bottom of a warmed tortilla. Top with arugula or choice greens, then nestle shrimp into the leaves. Sprinkle with feta and arrange a few pickled red onion slices.
