| Fish taco with cabbage and sauce |
UPDATE with an OPTION: the parmesan crusted Tilapia from Sam's Club (and I think also at Walmart) is a great low carb option if you don't want to marinate and grill your own fish. It works GREAT in this recipe; just pan fry or oven bake it and serve as below.
Fish or Shrimp Tacos
1/4 c olive oil
2 T white vinegar
2 T lime juice
zest from 1 lime (low carb, leave this out)
1 1/2 t honey (low carb, use 1 1/2 t natural sweetener)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 t cumin
1/2 t chili powder
1 t Old Bay seasoning
1/2 t pepper
1 t hot pepper sauce of your choice
1 pound fish - shrimp (cleaned, tail off), cod, tilipia, etc.
flour tortillas (low carb - use your favorite low carb tortilla)
Whisk the ingredients for the marinade together, put in a Ziploc Baggy (or whatever you use to marinate) and add the shrimp and/or fish. Refrigerate at least 6-8 hours, flipping every now and then so it's all covered equally.
While it marinates, make the dressing.
heaping 1/2 c sour cream
heaping 1/2 c mayonnaise
2 T lime juice
1/2 teaspoon each of oregano, dill weed, cumin, chipotle powder and ground or crushed coriander
2 small jalapenos, chopped fine (you can use less if you really hate spicy dressings)
2 t dried cilantro or parsley
1/2 teaspoon sugar (low carb use 5 drops of sucralose or 1/2 t sweetener, etc.)
Whisk ingredients together and refrigerate until it's serving time.
Grill or broil your fish until flaky and done. This is usually about 10 minutes. Serve the sliced fish with sides of the sauce, lettuce, shredded cabbage, diced tomato, guacamole, and extra lime slices if you wish. Enjoy!
