Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, radishes, ¼ cup cilantro and 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and remaining 1 Tbsp rice vinegar. Add the cabbage, mango and red onion and toss to combine.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush both sides of the tortillas with 2 tsp oil. Add tortillas in a single layer 2 or 3 at a time and cook until softened and golden brown in spots, 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep tortillas warm and pliable.

Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tsp oil over medium heat. Season the shrimp with the jerk seasioning and cook until opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.

Fill the tortillas with the shrimp and cabbage mixture. Serve with the cucumber salad.
