Step 1
Mix sour cream with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Toss coleslaw mix with the crema until coated.
Step 2
Pat shrimp dry. Toss with Cajun seasoning and the remaining lime juice until evenly coated.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Working in one batch, sear shrimp 90 seconds per side without moving — edges should turn opaque.
Step 4
Warm tortillas in the same skillet for 10 seconds per side, stacking them as they finish.
Step 5
Divide crema slaw among tortillas. Top with shrimp and serve with tortilla chips on the side.
