Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
  • Juice of 1 lime, about 2 tbsp
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • Dash of hot sauce, optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, cumin, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add cilantro and lime juice, then blend or whisk until the sauce turns pale green and the herbs are finely dispersed.
  3. Taste and season with hot sauce and extra salt or lime as needed.
  4. Drizzle over shrimp tacos and serve.

Notes

For the fullest flavor, let the sauce sit for 20 minutes before serving. This rest time is not included in the prep, because you can assemble the tacos during it. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
