Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb tomatillos
cooking spray
2/3 cup chopped green onions (about 4 green onions)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 jalapeno pepper , seeds removed and chopped
1 garlic clove
1 lb medium peeled and deveined shrimp
1 tbsp hot pepper sauce (such as tabasco)
1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrot

Directions:

Preheat grill.
To prepare salsa, remove husks and stems from tomatillos. Place tomatillos on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 10 minutes or until slightly blackened on each side, turning occasionally. Cool completely; coarsely chop. Place tomatillos, onions, and next 5 ingredients (through garlic) in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 7 times or until coarsely chopped.
To prepare tacos, thread shrimp evenly on 6 (10-inch) skewers. Place skewers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 2 minutes or until shrimp are done, turning once. Remove shrimp from skewers, and place in a medium bowl. Add hot pepper sauce, chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss to coat.
Heat the tortillas on the grill 1 minute on each side. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup cabbage and 2 tablespoons carrot. Divide shrimp mixture evenly among the tortillas; top each with 2 tablespoons salsa.
