Make The Slaw

  1. Place two cups or shredded cabbage in a large bowl.

  5. Refrigerate until serving.

Cook The Shrimp

  1. In a small bowl combine 2 cloves minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt and 2 Tablespoons Mazola Corn Oil.

  2. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 15 minutes (and up to overnight).

  3. Arrange shrimp on skewers for grilling.

  4. Coat grill grates with remaining Mazola Corn Oil.

  5. If you aren't using a grill shrimp can be sauteed in a single layer using a skillet on the stovetop.

  6. Cook shrimp over medium heat until they just turn pink, about 2 minutes per side.

  7. Remove the shrimp from the skewers to serve.

  8. Serve shrimp with fresh tomatoes, sliced avocado, cilantro lime slaw, quartered limes and warm tortillas.
