Lemonade Marinated Grilled Shrimp Tacos
These Lemonade Marinated Grilled Shrimp Tacos are bright, fresh, and packed with flavor! The shrimp are quickly marinated in a simple lemonade-based mixture with AE Dairy No Added Sugar Lemonade, garlic, olive oil, and spices, then grilled until lightly charred and juicy. Layered into warm tortillas with a crisp cabbage slaw and finished with a creamy lemonade sauce for the perfect balance! Recipe courtesy of The Hearty Life

In a large mixing bowl combine the shrimp, olive oil, lemonade, seasoning, garlic, and lime. Mix well, cover, and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl combine sour cream, lemonade, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder. Mix to combine, adjust lemonade until desired consistency is reached, you want the sauce thin enough to drizzle.
Preheat a gas grill over medium-high heat. Once the grill reaches about 400 degrees F, add the marinated shrimp, cook for 3-4 minutes per side depending on size. Shrimp should turn bright pink when done and temp around 135/140 degrees F. Remove from grill and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine about 1/4 cup of the cream sauce with the shredded cabbage and cilantro. Toss to combine. Warm tortillas, top with the slaw, some grilled shrimp, a drizzle of the crema, fresh cilantro, and a crumble of queso fresco. Best enjoyed immediately!
