2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tacos:

8 small corn tortillas

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in the mixture until they are evenly coated. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Make the Blueberry Slaw: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, blueberries, grated carrots, and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed and set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate dry skillet over medium heat, place the corn tortillas one by one, heating them for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are warm and pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: Place a few shrimp onto each tortilla, then top generously with the blueberry slaw. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

            Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately while they're warm, and let everyone squeeze fresh lime over their portion to enhance the flavors!
