Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Thinly slice the radishes. Grate the apple.
Warm the tortillas
Stack and tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil. Warm directly on an oven rack, 6 to 8 min., until heated through. Keep wrapped until ready to serve.
Cook the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, radishes, apple, vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the avocado cream & serve
In a small bowl, combine the avocado purée, sour cream and S&P. Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the avocado cream. Top with the shrimp and slaw. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
