We are very one-sided when it comes to shrimp. And that’s a good thing. Shrimp are notoriously easy to overcook, so to keep them plump and tender, we deeply brown them in a hot skillet on just one side. That develops plenty of flavor without turning them tough and rubbery. Tucked into warm corn tortillas and topped with a crisp, citrusy cabbage and onion slaw, the garlic- and chili-seasoned shrimp make terrific tacos.
