Servings: persons

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying
4 corn tortillas
1 pound shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
4 cups shredded red cabbage
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 avocado, pit removed and thinly sliced
2 medium radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges

1
First, fry the tortillas. Pour 1/4 inch of oil into a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium. When hot, add a tortilla and cook for 1-2 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds, or until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the other three tortillas.
2
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix the shrimp with the 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil, the chipotle chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Toss the shrimp on the grill pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until orange and cooked through. Smaller sized shrimp may only take a 1 minute per side.
3
Combine the cabbage, tomato, scallions, sour cream, and lime juice in a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, and toss together.
4
Top each of the fried tortillas with some of the cabbage slaw, chipotle shrimp, sliced avocado, radishes, and cilantro. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
