Servings: 3 people
Ingredients
Blue Cheese Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded slaw mix
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 green onion sliced (white and green parts)
Buffalo Sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons Butter melted
- 3 Tablespoons Frank's Red Hot
Tacos
- 1 pound large or extra large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 10 taco-sized flour tortillas
Instructions
- Up to one day in advance, make the blue cheese slaw by combining all of the ingredients for the slaw, placing in a covered bowl, and refrigerating it until ready to serve.
Make the Buffalo Shrimp for Tacos:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, add the shrimp. Cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the shrimp from the heat and toss with the melted butter and the Frank's Red Hot.
Assemble the Tacos:
- Place 3 - 4 Tablespoons of slaw on a warmed tortilla, then top with 3 - 6 shrimp (depending on the size of your shrimp. If you used extra large shrimp, 3 will be plenty. Smaller shrimp will need 4 - 6 to make a hearty taco.)
