Instructions
 

Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a ziplock bag or bowl, combine the shrimp and the honey garlic sauce, ensuring the shrimp is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes.

      Make the Summer Slaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, and cilantro. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated. Set aside.

        Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.

          Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a generous amount of the summer slaw on each tortilla, followed by the honey garlic shrimp. Garnish with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

            Serve: Plate the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
