Crispy Beer Battered Shrimp Tacos with a Crunchy Cabbage Avocado Slaw & Chipotle Crema
By Sara Tane
Knife used in this recipe:
Ingredients:
For the chipotle crema:
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3-4 chipotles in adobo (add more for desired heat)
- 1 lime, zested and juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the cabbage slaw:
- ¼ medium red cabbage, thinly sliced
- ¼ medium green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 1 lime, zested and juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the shrimp:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup light beer (such as Modelo, Corona, Pacifico, etc)
- Canola oil, for deep frying
To assemble:
- 8-10 corn tortillas, warmed
- Fresh lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- Make the chipotle crema. In a blender, food processor, or hand blender, combine sour cream, chipotles, lime juice, and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper. Keep chilled.
- Prepare the slaw. In a medium bowl, add cabbages, avocado, and cilantro. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning. Don’t mix the slaw with the remaining lime juice until you’re ready to serve it (to avoid the slaw becoming soggy). Keep chilled.
- Make the shrimp. Season the shrimp generously with salt. In a medium size bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt and baking powder and mix well. Add beer and stir well. Add shrimp into the batter, making sure each is fully coated.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a pot to 350˚F. Fry the shrimp in batches for 4 - 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Add remaining lime juice to slaw and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble tacos. Arrange tortillas on a plate and top with slaw, a couple shrimp, a drizzle of the chipotle crema, and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy immediately.
