Shrimp Tacodillas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat.
• Mix the brown sugar, chili, cumin, paprika and lime zest together in a medium bowl. Stir 2 teaspoons of the sugar-spice mixture into the sour cream and set aside. Put the remaining spice mixture in a medium bowl and add the shrimp and olive oil and toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Toss the coleslaw mix with the spiced sour cream until well coated and season with salt and pepper. Toast the tortillas on the grill, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and wrap with foil to keep warm.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the shrimp, flipping once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve the shrimp in the warm tortillas with the slaw, whole cilantro leaves, and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in the hot oil, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and peppers are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir salt, cumin, and chili powder into onion and bell peppers.
• Stir shrimp into onion and bell peppers and cook until shrimp are opaque and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat; stir jalapeno pepper and lime juice into shrimp mixture.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
