Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Slaw:

2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded

1 cup carrots, grated

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

3 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add the shrimp. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the slaw.

    Make the Slaw: In another bowl, mix together the cabbage, carrots, red onion, and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss thoroughly. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and cooked through. Remove from heat.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or over an open flame, warm the tortillas until they are soft and pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

          Assemble the Tacos: Place a handful of the slaw on each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the Sriracha honey shrimp. Top with avocado slices (if using) and a sprinkle of extra cilantro.

            Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, and enjoy your deliciously spicy and sweet creation!
