These Cajun Shrimp Tacos are bold, spicy, and refreshing, featuring tender shrimp seasoned with Cajun spices, a creamy slaw, and your favorite toppings wrapped in warm tortillas. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or entertaining guests.
In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lime juice. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce (if using). Stir in the shredded cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble tacos by adding slaw to each tortilla, topping with shrimp, and garnishing with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
