Cooking Steps

Prep
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch pieces. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest lime, then juice half. Cut remaining lime into wedges. Drain, then rinse black beans. Roughly chop cilantro. Drain corn, then rinse corn.

Prep shrimp
2

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with half the Enchilada Spice Blend, salt and pepper.

Cook shrimp
3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Make lime crema
4

While shrimp cook, add lime zest and yogurt to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.

Make Texas caviar
5

Heat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions, black beans, corn, peppers, lime juice and remaining Enchilada Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 5-6 min. Stir in coleslaw cabbage mix, then remove the pan from heat.

Finish and serve
6

Divide Texas caviar and shrimp between plates. Top with lime crema and cilantro. Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The enchilada-spiced shrimp and Tex-Mex seasoning were widely enjoyed, though some found the overall dish bland or the flavours unbalanced.
  • Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward meal that comes together easily, making it a solid choice for busy weeknights.
  • Suggestions: Add extra enchilada spice or a jalapeño for more heat; use sour cream in place of Greek yogurt and double the lime crema for a saucier finish. Some reviewers found that serving everything over rice or with corn tortilla chips added satisfying bulk and helped tie the flavours together.
  • Leftovers: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, as the coleslaw softens overnight; some reviewers had great results repurposing leftovers as tacos or nachos the next day.
  • Portions: The black beans can feel overwhelming — consider using a smaller amount to let the shrimp and vegetables shine through.
