I saw this recipe on Pinterest from Clean & Delicious and knew I had to try it. Not only did they look delicious, but they're healthy (only 132 calories per taco)! (and Gluten-Free for my family and friends who need that). Beware, these are a little on the spicy side. I'm the girl who can only handle Del Taco's mild sauce, though haha. You can adjust the spice factor to your taste by omitting the cayenne pepper, but it does add that extra yummy kick!
SPICY SHRIMP TACOS WITH CILANTRO LIME SAUCE
Serves: 4
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb of frozen shrimp, defrosted, peeled and deveined
6 oz. fat free greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp. fresth lime juice
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
5 cups shredded cabbage
8 corn tortillas
4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste (I used Garlic Salt and no pepper)
Directions
1 Mix yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, cayenne and salt in a bowl and set aside
2 Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium skillet and add cabbage. Cook for a few minutes until the cabbage is barely wilted and set aside.
3 Cut shrimp into thirds, so you have little bite size pieces. Saute in 2 tsp. olive oil and season with salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne over medium heat until just done. This only takes a few minutes, so be sure to keep your eye on it!
4 Heat tortillas over medium heat in a dry skillet until warm and starting to form small brown spots. Build your taco with the cabbage, shrimp and cilantro lime sauce... enjoy!

Lemon Garlic Shrimp
I originally saw this recipe made with a packet of dry Italian Seasoning. When I went to make it, I found out that we didn't have any. So I substituted the oregano, basil and garlic salt. Definately going to try the Italian Seasoning next time!
