Sweet & Spicy Baked Shrimp Tacos



SPICE MIXTURE
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground red pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground ginger

SHRIMP
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) package uncooked thawed medium shrimp

SAUCE
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon chili powder

TACOS
16 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups coleslaw mix

Heat oven to 500F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.

Combine all spice mixture ingredients in small bowl. Dip shrimp in butter then in spice mixture. 

Bon voyage, little buddy!


Place onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until shrimp are pink and coating is bubbly.

That spice mixture is off the chain. SO good.


Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients in small bowl.

To assemble tacos, stack 2 warmed tortillas onto each individual serving plate. Top with 1/8 baked shrimp and ¼ cup coleslaw mix. Drizzle with sauce.

Such a nice savory sauce.

Stacking the two tortillas really is important if you want to keep everything together well.

My Rating: 5/5 "I LOVE sweet/savory combinations and this is a particularly good one. There's so much flavor here. It's pretty beautiful. Enjoy the blend!"
