Step 2
Whisk lime zest, the remaining 3 Tbsp. lime juice, tahini, honey, and garlic in a small bowl.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.

I'm not very good at shrimp tacos so usually get them if we're out to eat. I saw this recipe and decided to give them another try and I have to say they're the best shrimp tacos I've ever eaten! From the shrimp spices, to the salsa (minus the cilantro--yuk!), to the tahini sauce. It sounded like a strange combo but everything melded together nicely on my palate. Will make them often during lent and year round.

My wife and I have been doing the Mediterranean diet for about 9 weeks now. We have been very pleased with just about all the recipes we have tried but this one is one of my top favorites. A lot of ingredient chopping but the salsa is worth it! The sauce the spices on the shrimp and the salsa all scream Baja Mexico!
