These easier-than-easy shrimp tacos are ideal for busy weeknights, but those fancy-seeming toppings—lime juice-massaged red onions and a throw-together garlic crema—are destined for dinner party greatness.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Stir 2 Tbsp. adobo sauce and 2 Tbsp. honey in a medium bowl until combined. Add 1 lb. shrimp; season with salt. Toss until shrimp is evenly coated with sauce. Set aside while you prep your toppings.
Step 2
Mix ½ cup mayonnaise with 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Grate 1 garlic clove into bowl, season with salt, and stir to combine.
Step 3
Thinly slice ¼ head of cabbage into very thin strips.
Step 4
Coarsely chop 1 cup cilantro.
Step 5
Peel and trim 1 onion. Cut in half lengthwise, then thinly slice.
Step 6
Cut 1 lime in half and squeeze out juice from both halves into another small bowl. Add sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Massage with your hands until onion begins to soften.
Step 7
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working with one at a time, warm tortilla in skillet until pliable and starts to darken, 30–45 seconds per side. Transfer tortillas to a piece of foil and wrap tightly to keep warm.
Step 8
Return skillet to medium-high heat and pour in 2 Tbsp. oil. Once oil begins to shimmer, add shrimp mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimps turn pink and cooked through, 1–2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
Step 9
Unwrap tortillas and build tacos with shrimp, cabbage, garlic crema, cilantro, and onions.
