Jerk shrimp tacos just hit different—especially when they’re dripping in Jerk Me Up Scotchie Marinade, stacked with a chimichurri slaw, and finished with a Hot Truff Aioli drizzle. Spicy, herby, and creamy
Ingredients
For the Tacos:
-
4 small tortillas (flour or corn)
-
16 large shrimp, peeled & deveined
-
tbsp Jerk Me Up, Scotchie marinade
-
1 tbsp avocado oil
-
2 tbsp butter
For the Chimichurri Slaw:
-
1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/3 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed from frozen)
-
2 tbsp diced red onion
-
2 tbsp chopped cilantro (Tip: keep pre-chopped herbs in olive oil in the fridge!)
-
juice of 1/2 lime
-
salt to taste
To Finish:
-
Hot Truff Aioli (as much or as little as your heart desires)
-
lime wedges, for serving
Directions
Make the Slaw:
In a mixing bowl, combine cabbage, corn, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with a pinch of salt. Toss well and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In a bowl, toss shrimp with 2 tbsp of Jerk Me Up, Scotchie marinade.
Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side. Add butter and continue cooking until shrimp are just charred but not overcooked. Remove from heat.
Toast the Tortillas:
Warm each tortilla in a dry pan for about 30 seconds per side until lightly golden.
Assemble:
Layer each tortilla with slaw, 4 shrimp, and a generous drizzle of Hot Truff Aioli.
Serve with a lime wedge on the side.
