A note about serious food allergies

Lionel Richie once famously told us “karamu, fiesta, forever,” and while we only know what two of those words mean, we assume “karamu” is something stupendously awesome, off the chain good, a party that never ever ends. These tacos are full of that “karamu” quality, a fiesta in the mouth that you'll wish lasted forever. Shrimp, green bell pepper, slaw, corn… with some crispy jalapeños on top, this meal will have you dancing on the ceiling. Whoops, wrong Lionel Richie song. Tip: Want to get the most juice out of your lime? Before cutting, microwave for 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit. Then, gently roll the softened fruit on your work surface while pressing on it with your palm. Finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz. shrimp, working in batches if necessary.

  • If using scallops, follow same instructions as shrimp in Steps 1 and 3, cooking until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes per side.

  • If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with seasoning blend. Follow same instructions as shrimp in Step 3, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as shrimp in Step 3, seasoning with seasoning blend and breaking up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Halve lime. Juice one half and cut other half into wedges.

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and slice green bell pepper into 1/4" strips.

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Pat shrimp dry, and season all over with seasoning blend.

  2. 2

    Make the Creamy Corn Slaw

    Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add corn to hot pan and cook undisturbed until slightly charred, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer cooked corn to a mixing bowl. Add slaw mix, sour cream, 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and a pinch of salt and thoroughly combine. Set aside.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Return pan used to cook corn to medium heat.

    Working in batches if necessary, add 2 tsp. olive oil and shrimp to hot pan. Cook until lightly charred and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to a plate. Reserve pan, no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Return pan used to cook shrimp to medium-high heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil, green bell pepper, and shallot to hot pan. Stir often until tender, 4-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble Tacos and Finish Dish

    Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warmed, 30-60 seconds.

    Alternatively, place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, to hot, dry pan. Heat undisturbed, 30-45 seconds per side. Remove from pan.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with shrimp and vegetables, creamy corn slaw, and crispy jalapeños (to taste). Squeeze lime wedges over tacos to taste. Bon appétit!
