Ingredients
1 tsp. vegetable oil1 large onion, sliced into strips2 bell peppers, sliced into strips3-4 cloves garlic, chopped1 jalapeno (remove seeds if you don't like it hot.)1 1/2 lb. precooked cocktail shrimp, tails removed4 tbsp. honey3 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped2 tsp. coriander2 tsp. cuminsalt and pepper to taste8 tortillas, soft taco size
Directions
Warm oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, bell peppers, and jalapeno. Cook until onions are transparent, about 5-10 minutes. Add shrimp and cook only until warmed through. (The longer they cook, the more they lose water and shrink.)

If you see a lot of water at the bottom of the pan after cooking the shrimp, drain mixture in a colander, return to skillet and stove. Lower the temperature of the stovetop to low. Add cumin and coriander, salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, combine honey and chopped cilantro. Place shrimp mixture in tortilla and top with a spoonful of the honey mixture. You can top with salsa or sour cream if you wish. Enjoy!

*Note: these tacos can be pretty messy, so you may prefer to eat them with a fork and knife

     We really enjoyed these. I used one large flatout multi grain with flax flatbread (100 calories) for each of us. It really cut down of the calories. 345 total for each of us. - 12/24/09

     Very good, but messy. I'm going to make these for a 3rd time this week as a salad instead of tacos. - 2/28/10

     I forgot the garlic but I stil loved it. The kids were afraid of the honey/cilantro sauce. Thought it looked gross. I don't care how it looks; it tastes great. Will make it again. - 1/27/09

     I cooked this for my family of 6. Everone loved it. I added the honey to the shrimp mixture and it made it soft and yummy and evenly coated among the mixture. - 6/24/10

     I actually doubled the honey sauce when I made this (my husband to drench things in sauce). Was totally unneeded. We barely used half, and even then it felt like it was a bit much. The honey sauce goes a long way. It was great though, we really liked it! - 3/19/08

     So delicious! - 3/3/19

     These were surprisingly good! I ignored the coriander, added some lime juice, and mixed it all together in the skillet (instead of using the honey/cilantro as a separate sauce.) The hubby was highly impressed :D - 4/11/13

     It was not very good. I followed the recipe exactly and my husband and I both thought it was yucky. Sorry. - 7/25/12

     Very easy to make. The honey cilantro really makes this recipe special. - 5/10/12

     Not what I expected but it was good - will probably try it again. I used wheat tortillas. - 1/19/12

     I have never written a review about a recipe I have found online and have made. But this recipe got me to create a account just to inform you on how bad this recipe is, this has got to be the worst thing I have ever made. For all those rating this 5 star, what have you been eating? this is AWFUL. - 6/4/11

     Loved this. Was not a big fan of the honey cilantro sauce, but the rest was so good!! Thank you! - 4/21/11

     Delicious. I used Mission Carb Balance Whole Wheat Tortillas (taco size) instead of regular white tortillas. You get more fiber and less calories. - 3/23/11

     Generally liked it, but may skip the honey sauce next time and just stick to some salsa instead. Question - calls for 8 tortillas but makes 4 servings, so is one serving 2 tacos?? - 3/9/11
  • AUNTIEMIMIRN
     This was AMAZING!! A great contrast between spicy and sweet. I did only use 1/4 of the jalapeno pepper because I was nervous and it was still had a kick. I also only used about 1/2 the honey and just added it right on top of the veggies and shrimp and threw in the cilantro too. So YUMMY!! - 2/22/11

     These were the best taco's i ever had - 8/21/10
  • KWESTSIG
     Very tasty! I used corn tortillas instead of flour which knocked about 100 calories off of the total. This would be really good on top of mixed greens for even fewer calories. YUM! - 7/2/10
  • BORIKKIN
     Great recipe! Delicious! - 6/12/10
  • SMOOCHIEFACE
     Really good. I used crawfish since that's what I had on hand and used red bell peppers instead of green. Next time will half the honey sauce and add lime juice to cut sweetness - a bit TOO sweet for me. And will DEFINITELY eat over rice - tacos were very very messy!!! But yummy! - 5/20/10

     my 12 year old daughter made this. It was easy and had a real interested flavor. I would give the tortilla the heave ho and add this on top of a salad or brown rice as better alternative. - 4/12/10
  • NIJACV
     Great recipe! The entire family enjoyed! - 3/2/10

     So so so good! I used corn tortillas instead of flour for less sodium. I will add this to my dinner rotation. Thanks! - 2/15/10
