  1. Lime Slaw
    1. Toss the green cabbage, radishes, white onion, cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, 0.5 teaspoon of the salt and the Mexican crema in a bowl. Set aside to soften slightly while you cook.
    2 cups Green cabbage, finely shredded, 3 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced, 1 pieces Limes, 0.2 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped, 0.2 pieces White onion, finely diced, 2 tbsp Mexican crema, 0.5 tsp Salt
  2. 2. Pat the shrimp dry and toss with the ground cumin, smoked paprika, Mexican oregano, minced garlic and the remaining salt. Cut the second lime into wedges for serving.
    340 g Large shrimp, peeled and deveined, 1 pieces Limes, 2 clove Garlic, 0.5 tsp Ground cumin, 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp Mexican oregano, dried, 0.5 tsp Salt
  3. Sear Corn and Shrimp
    3. Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add half the olive oil and the sweet corn kernels. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir and cook 2 more minutes until charred in spots. Stir in the jalapeño for the last 30 seconds, then transfer to a bowl.
    1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed), 1 pieces Jalapeño, seeded and minced, 1 tbsp Olive oil
  4. 4. Return the skillet to high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Sear the shrimp in a single layer for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side until pink, curled and lightly browned. Return the corn to the pan, toss for 15 seconds, and remove from the heat.

  6. 6. Fill each tortilla with the shrimp and corn mixture, top with a generous pile of lime slaw and avocado slices, and serve right away with lime wedges for squeezing.
