Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, soy sauce, grated ginger, chili-garlic sauce and fresh lime juice. Toss the shrimp and set them aside to marinate.
- To make the Slaw, in a large bowl combine the cabbage, cilantro, red chilis and green onions.
- Grate the ginger into a small bowl and add the chili-garlic sauce, soy and honey. Whisk in the lime juice and the vegetable oil.
- Pour all of the dressing into the slaw and toss and combine well. Check for seasoning. If it needs it, season to taste with kosher salt. Set aside to marinate.
- For the Peanut Sauce, in the jar of a blender add the chili, garlic, ginger, green onion, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil and coconut milk. Puree until very smooth. Set aside.
- In a large heavy skillet or pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add half of the shrimp. Cook until just pink, about 1 minutes, and then flip.
- When the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the pan and let it get hot again. Cook the second half of the shrimp.
- Heat the tortillas on a griddle or in a dry non-stick pan. Pile each tortilla with a generous amount of slaw.
- Top with 3 large shrimp.
