  4. 4

    Repeat to fill all of the skewers, about 4 shrimp per skewer.

    Right before you place the shrimp on the grill, brush each skewer with a generous amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Grill over high heat for 3 minutes, brush the top side with more olive oil, flip, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque.

  7. 7

    Remove from the grill and remove the shrimp from the skewers.

  8. 8

    Make the creamy cilantro sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, cilantro, lime zest, salt, and lime juice.

  9. 9

    Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, and jalapeño.

  10. 10

    Pour half of the sauce over the cabbage, saving the other half for serving, and toss to combine.

  11. 11

    Assemble the tacos: Add some of the slaw to the tortillas, followed by the shrimp.

  12. 12

    Top with the creamy cilantro sauce, more cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
