Quick Shrimp Tacos

Made with quick-cooking shrimp and simply topped with cabbage and cilantro, these tacos come together in minutes. Round out the meal with rice and black beans or a chopped salad.

8 taco-size (6-inch) flour tortillas
1 medium lime
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. ground coriander
Kosher salt
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1 lb. medium shrimp (41 to 50 per lb.), peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Wrap the tortillas in foil and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Turn off the oven; leave the tortillas in the oven until ready to serve.

2. Meanwhile, finely grate 3/4 tsp. zest from half of the lime. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the zested half to yield 1 Tbs. juice. Cut the other half into 4 wedges.

3. In a small bowl, stir the sour cream, 1/2 tsp. of the lime zest, 1/4 tsp. of the coriander, and a large pinch of salt; set aside.

4. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise the heat to medium high and add the shrimp, the remaining 3/4 tsp. coriander, the cumin, pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the lime juice and remaining zest and stir to coat. Remove from the heat.

5. Put some of the cabbage, cilantro, and sour cream on each tortilla and top with the shrimp. Fold in half and serve immediately with the lime wedges on the side.
