Shrimp Tacos with Asian Chimichurri
and red cabbage slaw

Active: 40 Total: 40

Our last shrimp and chimichurri tacos (in 2020) were such a hit, we were excited to create this new version with different flavors. 
Smarts #1: We love the tart sweetness that mango brings to these tacos, but they would be great with avocados if you prefer them (or can’t find ripe mangos).
Smarts #2: Wait to season the cabbage slaw until right before serving.
