DIRECTIONS

1. Start by preparing your shrimp. Add shrimp, olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and lemon zest to a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine and let marinate for 20 – 30 minutes.
2. Start on your slaw – add Greek yogurt, seasoned rice vinegar, mayo, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, dill, garlic and kosher salt to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until evenly combined and smooth. Set aside ⅓ cup of sauce for topping tacos.
3. Add sliced cabbage to a large mixing bowl and top with remaining sauce, using tongs to ensure everything is evenly coated. Set aside.
4. To a cast iron pan, add ~1 tbsp olive oil and heat to medium. Once hot, add shrimp (and any marinade), making sure not to overcrowd the pan (I cooked in 2 batches). Do not touch shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes so they can brown. Flip and cook for an extra 2 minutes, or until shrimp are tightly curled. Set aside.
5. Assemble your tacos – add green goddess slaw and top with 4-5 pieces of shrimp and sliced avocado. Top with extra green goddess sauce, feta crumbles and sliced scallions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
