Description

Enjoy Irresistible Korean-Mexican Shrimp Tacos with Kimchi Slaw, a flavorful fusion dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp marinates, prepare the kimchi slaw. In a separate bowl, mix shredded cabbage, chopped kimchi, mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions.
  5. Assemble the tacos. Fill each tortilla with cooked Korean-Mexican shrimp, kimchi slaw, and sliced red onion.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes to the shrimp marinade.
  • You can substitute the cabbage with a pre-made coleslaw mix.
  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of gochujang.
