Instructions

Prep all ingredients per the instructions above.
Make Cilantro Lime Slaw: In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, minced jalapeño, apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice, salt, and fresh cilantro. Adjust the honey and vinegar to taste. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Marinate Shrimp: In a bowl, season the shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and avocado oil. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
Make the queso: Mix the ingredients (except for the chips) in a saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally, until the cheese is melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
Cook Shrimp: Heat a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side or until they curl and turn opaque. Cooking time may vary based on shrimp size and heat level.
Mix all the ingredients for the mocktail. Add sugar as needed for sweetness. Serve over ice (optional).
Mix together the ranch and sriracha.
Assemble Tacos: Warm the corn tortillas. Place shrimp on each tortilla, drizzle with sriracha ranch sauce, and top with cilantro lime slaw.
Enjoy the tacos with chips and queso and paloma mocktail.
