- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions
- For the slaw: Combine the sliced jalapeno and shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the milk mixture over the cabbage and jalapeno and toss to combine. (Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours if you have the time.) Before serving, toss in the cilantro.
- For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook, tossing it around, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato or enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Stir in the cumin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter, then remove from the heat.
- Serve the warm tortillas with the shrimp, slaw, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sour cream and pepper jack cheese, then let everyone build their own tacos. Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges over the top at the end!

Reviews
I love it and it is so good. When I make slaw, I don’t use milk, I use sour cream and it is taste better.
Quick and easy but slightly underwhelming in flavor. Friends loved them
These were awesome. My wife said they were better than the ones we got at the resort in Mexico. Definitely going to made over and over again.
Great tacos the shrimp are super tasty with a Ranchero sauce or enchilada sauce. So far we’ve had it several times this summer the coleslaw is amazing
so so good. the slaw had amazing flavor (and I used pre-made and just added some red cabbage) and was nice and cool mixed with the spicier shrimp. definitely a recipe we will come back to!
This one was great. Every bite is flavorful and in our regular rotation. Loved the slaw!
