Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, toss the 2 cups shredded cabbage with the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle while you cook.

  2. Step 2

    Pat the 1 lb fish and 0.5 lb shrimp dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high.

  3. Step 3

    Add the fish and shrimp in a single layer. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side for fish, 2-3 minutes for shrimp. Remove and flake fish into chunks.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each tortilla with fish and shrimp, top with pickled cabbage and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges from the remaining lime.
