Wskazówki

Season the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and place them in a medium bowl. Add the ancho chile powder, chipotle chile powder (or smoked paprika), unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt. Toss well to coat. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, thinly sliced onion, and half of the fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice from half a lime over the mixture, then season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together and set aside.

Warm the tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in two stacks of 6 in aluminum foil. Place into a 350°F (177°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.

Make the avocado mash: Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl and use a fork to mash it until smooth. Add the juice from half of a lime and the remaining cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well.

Cook the chile butter shrimp: Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque throughout, about 2 minutes on each side. Finish by squeezing the juice from the remaining half lime over the cooked shrimp.

Build the tacos: To assemble, spread some of the mashed avocado onto each warmed tortilla. Top with 3 to 4 shrimp and a generous spoonful of the red cabbage slaw (you might have some slaw leftover). Serve immediately with any remaining slaw and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
