Tilapia And Shrimp Tacos With Cabbage Slaw Recipes

SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• For the slaw: Combine the sliced jalapeno and shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the milk mixture over the cabbage and jalapeno and toss to combine. (Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours if you have the time.) Before serving, toss in the cilantro.
• For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook, tossing it around, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato or enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Stir in the cumin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter, then remove from the heat.
• Serve the warm tortillas with the shrimp, slaw, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sour cream and pepper jack cheese, then let everyone build their own tacos. Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges over the top at the end!

TILAPIA AND SHRIMP TACOS WITH CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• For the marinade: Pulse the lime juice, olive oil, marjoram, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini-food processor or blender until smooth. Cut each tilapia fillet in half through the seam, separating the thicker half from the thinner. Place the tilapia and shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Toss to coat, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the slaw: Meanwhile, toss the cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften it a bit. Whisk the sour cream, jalapenos and pickling liquid in another large bowl. Toss in the seasoned shredded cabbage and stir to coat. Season with black pepper, cover and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Transfer the tilapia and shrimp to a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• For the taco bar: Wrap the tortillas in foil and set to the side on the heated grill while you grill the tilapia and shrimp.
• Grill the tilapia starting with the thicker pieces, 4 minutes for the thicker fillets, 3 minutes for the thinner ones. Use a spatula to loosen the fish and gently flip. Grill until just cooked through, another 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the shrimp until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Serve with the tortillas, slaw, scallions, radishes and salsa.

CRISPY TILAPIA FISH TACOS WITH SLAW

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, onion, pickles, and lemon juice for tartar sauce in a bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
• Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix garlic and ginger with rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
• Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat.
• While oil is heating, mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly add ginger ale and mix to combine. You don't want the batter to be overly thick; excess batter should be able to coat the fish entirely, but still be able to drip off.
• Pat tilapia chunks dry and dredge in the batter until thoroughly coated.
• Test the oil by adding a few drops of batter in it; when the batter begins to bubble and float, the oil is ready. Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, carefully lower some tilapia into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining tilapia.
• To serve, place slaw on warm tortillas. Top with tilapia and tartar sauce.

• While oil is heating, clean and dry tilapia and cut into 2-inch pieces. Dredge in flour, then egg, then panko mixture.
• Lower fish carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
