Chimichurri Shrimp Tacos
with Cilantro-Lime Slaw
- Shellfish
- Eggs
- Wheat
- Soy
We love when taco night gets a fresh, savory spin! Bright and herbaceous chimichurri sauce flavors succulent chicken thighs for this simple, delicious meal. You’ll pile the marinated chicken into warm flour tortillas along with creamy, tangy cabbage slaw, then sprinkle with cilantro and finish with a bright squeeze of lime juice.

Cooking Steps
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat very dry with paper towels.
Transfer to a medium bowl. Add chimichurri and ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4 servings); toss to coat. Set aside until ready to use in Step 4.
Wash and dry produce.
Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.
In a second medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, half the cilantro, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), juice from half the lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp with marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes (watch out—the marinade might splatter a bit in the pan!). Turn off heat.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds.
Divide tortillas between plates; fill with shrimp and slaw. Top with remaining cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
These are so good! I changed it up a bit and just tossed a serving into a bowl and ate it with the tortillas. It was the best! I think this would be great as a salad if you're trying to cut some carbs out!
Complex flavors that are wonderful together! The lime pop was so good.
Slaw from the bag was brown and rotten 2 days after delivery.
