Ingredients

2 cups diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon lime zest (reserve before juicing limes)
5 tablespoons lime juice, divided
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons minced jalapeño pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons tahini
½ teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 pound large raw shrimp (21-25 count; see Tip), peeled and deveined
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup thinly sliced radishes

Directions

Preheat broiler. Combine tomatoes, 2 Tbsp. lime juice, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, and salt in a medium bowl; toss to combine.
Whisk lime zest, the remaining 3 Tbsp. lime juice, tahini, honey, and garlic in a small bowl.
Combine oil, cumin, coriander, and pepper in a large bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Spread the shrimp on a large rimmed baking sheet. Broil, flipping once, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
To assemble: Place 2 to 3 shrimp on each tortilla. Top each with about 3 Tbsp. salsa, 2 tsp. tahini sauce, and 2 Tbsp. radishes.

Tips

To make ahead: Prepare salsa (Step 1) and sauce (Step 2) and refrigerate separately for up to 1 day.

Tip: Shrimp is usually sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, "21-25 count" means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
