2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)

Directions:

1. Make Slaw: Combine all slaw ingredients in a bowl and set aside to marinate.
2. Make Sauce: Combine all sour cream sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3. Cook Shrimp: Add cleaned shrimp and all spices in a bowl and mix together well. In a cast iron skillet or cast iron grill pan on medium-high heat add a drizzle of oil. When heated lay shrimp down without over crowding the pan. Cook shrimp on one side for 3 minutes, flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes. Repeat until all shrimp is cooked through.
