- Blend (or mash) until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Shrimp- Toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
- Sauté the shrimp in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.
- Remove from heat and add a little rhubarb glaze.
Prepare the Coleslaw- In a bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil or mayonnaise. Season and mix well.
Assemble Tacos- Warm tortillas. Top each with coleslaw, glazed shrimp, and your choice of toppings. Drizzle with extra rhubarb salsa if you like it spicy!
Tips- Make Ahead: The glaze and coleslaw can be made the day before.
- Spiciness Level: Add more sriracha or a pinch of chili flakes if you like it spicy!
