Let’s sync our watches! We recognize that sometimes the thing you’re most short on in the kitchen is time, so we’ve organized these fun shrimp tacos for ultra-fast delivery. From the bottom up, it goes something like this: warm wheat tortillas schmeared with a smooth avocado purée. Top that with morsels of seared seafood imbued with sweet, smoky, herby seasonings.

Preparation
Warm the tortillas
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Stack and tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake directly on an oven rack, 6 to 8 min., until heated through.
Cook the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ¾ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the lime; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½. Roughly chop the cashews.
Make the slaw
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Add the cabbage, carrots, onions and ½ the cashews; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the avocado purée. Top with the shrimp and a spoonful of the slaw. Garnish with the remaining cashews and the lime wedges. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
