Print Recipe

Delicious and easy shrimp and steak tacos with a flavorful marinade, topped with fresh slaw and creamy sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Divide marinade between steak and shrimp, coating well. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side until desired doneness. Remove and let rest.
  3. Cook shrimp in the same pan for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  4. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and hot sauce to make the creamy sauce.
  5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble tacos by layering steak and shrimp, shredded cabbage, cilantro, and a drizzle of creamy sauce.
  6. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the steak and shrimp separately to avoid overcooking. Use fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy finish. You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
