  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tacos:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 sausage links (chorizo or smoked sausage), sliced
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Broccoli Slaw:

  • 2 cups shredded broccoli slaw (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges
  • Avocado slices
  • Pickled jalapeños
  • Crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sriracha. Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on your heat tolerance. Set this sauce aside—this will be the base for your honey garlic glaze.

Step 2: Cook the Sausages

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and slightly crispy. Once done, remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3: Sauté the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the shrimp with the smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add them to the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.

Step 4: Add the Honey Garlic Sauce

Once the shrimp are cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and sausage mixture, and toss everything together until it is evenly coated. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly and glazes the shrimp and sausage.

Step 5: Prepare the Broccoli Slaw

While the shrimp and sausage are cooking, make the broccoli slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in the shredded broccoli slaw until it is fully coated with the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Step 6: Warm the Tortillas

While everything finishes cooking, heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or over a flame for a few seconds per side until warm and pliable. You can also microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds.

Step 7: Assemble the Tacos

To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the broccoli slaw at the base of each tortilla. Top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with optional toppings like cilantro, avocado slices, lime wedges, or pickled jalapeños for added flavor.
