Sheet Pan Crispy Shrimp Tacos

The ultimate low-carb/healthy handheld bite! 🌮🦐🥑

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 low-carb tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • Splash of water (to blend)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Seafood: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the raw shrimp on a lined baking tray for an easy, low-friction sheet pan cleanup. Drizzle with olive oil and toss evenly with the taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes just until they turn into beautiful, juicy bright pink shrimp.
  3. Make the Crunchy Slaw: While the shrimp bakes, toss the shredded purple cabbage with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. This creates that bright, vibrant crunch.
  4. Blend the Drip: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, sour cream, fresh lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and a splash of water. Blend until it becomes an incredibly rich, thick, pale green avocado sauce.
  5. Assemble and Drip: Warm your low-carb tortillas. Lay down a generous bed of the vibrant crunchy purple cabbage slaw. Top heavily with the hot bright pink sheet pan shrimp. Flood every single taco with a massive, heavy, scroll-stopping thick pale green avocado sauce drip! Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately!
