Grilled Shrimp Tacos

This recipe has layers of flavor going on - which is why I love it.  It is messy to eat, but  no one complains because the taste is so good. I usually make 1/2 a recipe as this makes a big batch.

Ingredients

36 medium-sized shirmp, peeled and deveined
12 flour tortillas, taco size

For the Cabbage Slaw:
1/2 head of green cabbage, sliced thin
1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup corn
1/2 cup lime juice
2 Tablespoons cilantro
3 jalapenos, grilled or roasted, sliced with seed

For the Cream Sauce
8 ounces sour cream
4 ounces lime juice
1/2 ounce chopped cilantro
4 ounces mayonnaise
2 ounces honey

For the Shrimp Seasoning:
1/4 cup Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 cup chili powder
1 Tablespoon celery salt
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Combine all ingredients for the shrimp seasoning. Add shrimp; mix well and refrigerate.

To make cream sauce, combine all cream sauce ingredients with a whisk and refrigerate.

For the slaw, combine all slaw ingredients and allow to marinate in the refrigerator. Drain off excess liquid before serving.

Cook the shrimp on a hot grill or in a grill pan for 3 - 5 minutes or until done.

Quickly grill the tortillas to soften them.

Put slaw on the tortillas; top with cream sauce and shrimp.
