• Meanwhile, rinse shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel. Once onions are browned, add shrimp and and a pinch of chili flakes (to taste) to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until shrimp start to turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Stir in juice from 2 remaining lime halves, lime zest, and honey. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are cooked through, 1-2 minutes.
• Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm, about 30 seconds. TIP: Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven for 5 minutes at 425 degrees.
• Fill each tortilla with shrimp mixture, slaw, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

• Preheat grill or griddle pan to high heat. Thread the shrimp onto the soaked skewers. Grill the shrimp until they are just cooked through and pink with grill marks on both sides, about 2 minutes each side. Remove from the heat and let them cool. Remove tails if desired and cover to keep warm.

• Warm the tortillas on the grill or griddle. Place a small handful of the red and green cabbage on each tortilla then top each with shrimp, avocado, creamy hot sauce and cilantro, dividing evenly. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side.

HONEY LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.
• Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.
• When you're ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.).
• Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch.
• Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink.
• Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque.
• Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!

To assemble the tacos, heat tortilla in a dry pan, about 1 minute per side or until lightly browned or charred. Wrap tortilla in a cloth to prevent from drying out. Set aside, covered. 7.
