Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoon Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 pound shrimp (large, peeled)
  • 3 tablespoon Butter (melted)
  • 2 clove garlic (large cloves, minced)
  • 4 limes (cut into quarters)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 3 cup finely shredded green cabbage (2 – 3 cups)
  • 1 bottled green tomatillo salsa

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, and cumin. Set aside.
  • Skewer the shrimp. (If using wood skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes beforehand.) In a small bowl, combine the butter and garlic.
  • Preheat a gas grill to high; adjust to medium after 15 minutes. (If cooking over charcoal, allow the coals to burn until they are covered with gray ash.)
  • Brush the skewered shrimp with the garlic butter. Place them on the grill with the limes. Cook about 4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are opaque and the limes are browned. Remove from grill. Lightly salt the shrimp.
  • Grill the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, then place inside a paper bag to keep warm.
  • To serve, pull the shrimp off the skewers and divide them evenly among the tortillas. Top with the cabbage, sour cream sauce, tomatillo salsa, and a spritz of grilled lime.

Notes

  • Rainy-Day Method: Broil the shrimp and limes about 4 inches from the heat using the Total Times above. Wrap the tortillas in foil and heat in a 350° F oven for 15 minutes, or wrap them in a napkin and microwave for 3 minutes.

  • Garnish with fresh green onions and cilantro
