Ingredients

1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled, deveined

2 tsp. store-bought or homemade taco seasoning

2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped, divided

Kosher salt

2 scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced

1/4 c. sour cream

2 tbsp. finely chopped pickled jalapeños

2 tbsp. mayonnaise

2 limes

1 c. shredded green cabbage

1 c. shredded red cabbage

1/4 c. fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus more for serving

3 tbsp. neutral oil, divided

8 small corn tortillas

1/2 avocado, thinly sliced

Thinly sliced radishes, for serving

Directions

In a medium bowl, toss shrimp, taco seasoning, half of garlic, and 3/4 tsp. salt until combined. Set aside until ready to use.

In a small bowl, whisk white scallion parts, sour cream, jalapeños, mayonnaise, zest from 1 lime, juice from 1/2 lime, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining garlic until combined. If you desire a smooth sauce, blend in a blender or food processor until smooth, about 15 seconds. Set aside until ready to use.

In a large bowl, toss green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, green scallion parts, juice from 1/2 lime, and a heavy pinch of salt until combined.

In a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tsp. oil and swirl to coat pan. Once oil is shimmering, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook, turning halfway through, until cooked through and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a clean medium bowl.

Reduce heat to medium, add juice from remaining 1 lime, and scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Pour lime juice over shrimp. Wipe out skillet.

In same skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Toast half of tortillas, turning frequently, until slightly charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and tortillas.

Divide shrimp mixture and coleslaw among tortillas; drizzle with crema. Top tacos with avocado, radish, and more cilantro.
