INGREDIENTS:
▪1.5lbs shrimp (51/60 shrimp)
▪3c (250g) cabbage, shredded
▪1.5c (1 medium) carrot, shredded
▪1 jalapeno, julienned
▪Handful of cilantro (⅓ of a bunch), chopped
▪Salt
▪1T + 1t (75g) honey or agave syrup
▪2 limes
▪2 ripe avocados
▪2 garlic cloves
▪Pinch of chile flake
▪1/2c (110g) mayonnaise
▪1 1/2T (25g) sriracha
▪Olive oil
▪1/2t (2g) paprika
▪1/2t (2g) chili powder
▪1/2t (2g) cumin
▪1/2t (1g) chile flakes
▪1/2t (2g) onion powder for guac, 1/2t (2g) for shrimp seasoning
▪1/2t (3g) garlic powder
▪6 Flour tortillas
INSTRUCTIONS:
Thaw shrimp in advance in the fridge or for 5 minutes under cold water.
Shred cabbage and julienne carrot and jalapeno. Combine shredded cabbage and julienned carrots and jalapeno in a bowl. Add a strong pinch of salt (don’t be shy). Add honey/agave and lime juice. Stir and taste for seasoning.
Remove shrimp from water and allow to drain while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
To make the weekday quac (avocado mash), Squeeze the flesh of 2 avocados into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and juice of ½ a lime and 1 minced/pressed garlic clove, onion powder, and chile flake. Mash with a fork to combine.
Add mayo, sriracha, about 2tsp lime juice and 1 clove minced garlic. Stir to combine.
Heat tortillas in a dry non-stick pan until warmed through and floppy. Keep warm in a tortilla warmer until ready to use.
Add shrimp to a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, tsp of salt, and about a 1/2t each of paprika, chili powder, cumin, chile flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix to coat shrimp evenly.
Add oil to preheated nonstick pan over medium heat. Add shrimp (it should sizzle when it hits the pan). Spread shrimp into an even layer and allow to cook on side one for just about minute. Toss, spread into an even layer and continue to cook for about another minute or until shrimp have just turned opaque.
To assemble, add a spoonful of the weekday guac to a warmed tortilla followed by shrimp, slaw, and finally the spicy garlic mayo.

Dude this format is awesome, it’s nice seeing a recipe and knowing a realistic timeline on how long it will take!
Thanks! I hope people like it. It was fun to make.
It’s less pro bro.
But who cares!! It’s all Brian and Lauren!!! 🥰
Yes. This is definitely an amazing format!
@@ChuckWestfield Yeesh such a negative nancy
Being good enough at both cooking and being in front of a camera to be able to whip up a dish AND talk all along without falling into the trap of incoherent rambling is definitely an underrated skill combination. Great job! Also, kudos to Lauren for pointing out relevant stuff every now and then
This format is fantastic. Much better to see a legitimate prep from getting it out of the fridge and pantry like I’d be doing on a random weeknight
Thanks Tucker. I hope people watch it! We will see.
Agreed, this is by far my favorite video of yours Brian
Ethan Chlebowski also did this on his 'can I do X before delivery' videos
NGL, it was too long for me.
@@hermiona1147Ethan’s great!
Maybe I'm a dinosaur here, but as someone who grew up watching Food Network, I really loved this format. I've started to detest the TikTok and CZcams short recipes of people plopping down food on a cutting board and dizzily assembling ingredients in a blur all before only slowing down to perform the obligatory "knife drag to show how crunchy my food is!" maneuver.
Anyway, this calm, slower format is really what I love. Reminds me of things like Emeril Live, just having the chef show you in real-time how it's done while explaining their reasoning for things. It's really relaxing and informative. I hope to see more like this, thanks Bri.
This concludes the "old man screams at cloud" portion of the comment section.
Dude... Fellow cloud screamer here.... I never got the "knife drag". Emeril is legend. I love Guy Fieri, but Justin Wilson was THE MAN that started it. Kent Rollins is carrying the torch. Brian is the modern culmination of all these dudes. Love his content. The fact he's local to me and the chances I might run into him in a market gives extra points. Rock on brothers. Y'all be safe, and cook on!!!!
I wish this came out an hour earlier...I just got back from the store to make shrimp tacos. Looks great as always.
I hope you try next time!
Leave a comment letting me know what you guys think of this new real time format. And here's that Magic Spoon promo code for all all my fellow cereal addicts: Code BRIANLAGERSTROM for $5 off at this link sponsr.is/magicspoon_brianlagerstrom
We LOVED the format, please do more of your videos this way.
I prefer the regular format, but we are clearly going to watch your videos either way. Thanks for everything!
Love it. There's a lot of people out there that don't know how to prep to make cooking fast. This helps them a lot. I love having Loren? Lauren? there making comments and asking questions. It's like having a surrogate in the kitchen for the audience.
I don't like the new format. I used to watch a lot of Joshua Weisman's channel. But then he started doing more and more what I like to call "TV show" cooking. It's a format where it's more focused around the content being "entertaining" then actually showing you how to cook. The worst re-occurring style that he does is called "But Faster." He has one of his crew get in their car and drive to some fast food place to pick food. And then he has to cook the same food before they get back. I absolutely hate it. Why? Two reasons. First off, he'll gloss over what he's doing during crucial parts. And he'll say "the recipe is in the description." He does this because he's focused on "winning". The second reason I hate his "But Better" format, is that it's stressful to watch. There is a palpable sense of tension, as he tries to "beat the clock." I don't want the cooking show I'm watching to be stressful. It makes me stressful, and makes me far less inclined to want to make the food.
You produce amazing content Bri. There is a reason I get 95% of all my recipes from you. You are simply the best. No one does a better job of explaining the techniques and tricky parts of recipes. No one. And you put the time and effort into making your recipes right, through trial and error. Please don't do this format again. I appreciate that you are trying something new. And the fact that you had to record this 3 separate times. But it's stressful to watch. I hate to say this, but this sort of content will probably grow your channel. It definitely seemed to help Joshua Weisman. But it's not good for people that actually want to make your recipes. No matter how many takes you do, there is always going to be some stress from these types of videos. It's not you. It's the format.
I like the format but I also like how the more edited vids are only 10-12 mins. And I've never really distrusted your time estimates. Yeah, maybe it takes me 35 vs 30 mins but... eh.
Came for the shrimp tacos, stayed for the guac on a sock !
Extra flav.
@@BrianLagerstrom sockamole
That's hysterical!@@3rdPartyIntervener
@@BrianLagerstrom NO to food waste :)
I absolutely love this style of video! Please do more like this in the future, it's so helpful.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it
I love your regular videos but I dig this loose and casual format. I always enjoy hearing Lorn's input in the background and the camera work adds interest. 😊
Thanks! I was very curious to hear what people thought of this style.
Late to the party, but I totally agree!
This style is what makes Kenji's videos so awesome. Great to see it.
I guess Brian needs to get a head mounted cam next.
@@timothylong3722noooooooooooo. I can only listen to Kenji’s videos because the head mount makes me nauseous.
WAY better than Kenji. No disrepsect to him, even the greats can be imprived upon and this is it.
Ok, one more thing. This style of video, which I feel may give you anxiety due to the attempts and not super crisp/clean/edited experience is... AWESOME! I love the rawness of it and with lorn keeping it on track and asking the foodie questions rocks, IMHO. You two make a terrific team. ❤ Do more. 🤙
Best video format you've done, broski. Super approachable and RE-A-LIS-TICLY timed recipe. cool beans!
I hope you guys are having as much fun as it looks and that it continues that way for a long time to come!
It was so nice seeing you and Lorn together. Even if it was scripted it was great that she asked common sense practical questions. Could tell Bri Guy was nervous. Don’t be. Gonna be watching your more for the sophisticated cooking instructions, practical tips and Loren’s practical questions. Best wishes to both of you.
It’s nice seeing your wife participating! A great recipe and a great video!!!
I really like the "real-time" format. I think one improvement could be to have you list off/show the ingredients and tools required at the beginning of the video so people wanting to follow along in real-time can have everything ready to go.
Keep up the awesome work! Been a follower since the early Weeds & Sardine's days and its been great to see this channel grow and evolve!
“Why’d” “you” “put” “real-time” “in” “quotations”?
@@cwg73160 the quotations are implying that the name of the format is "real-time".
@@carsonpredovich3399 Since the name of the format IS “real-time”, the way you used quotations implies that there’s doubt to the video actually being a real-time format. Don’t.
@@cwg73160 okay? 👍🏼
@@carsonpredovich3399 The next lesson is on your use of question marks.
Loved seeing more personality in this video, while still getting a great recipe. Would definitely watch more videos like this!
Awesome thanks for watching.
This is a FABULOUS format - love it! So much good information along the way. And Lorn is a superstar.⭐ Could you please weeknight the sushi inspired salad and asian rice bowl you mentioned? Those sound wonderful.
Always loved your snappy, quirky editing with the *zwips* and stuff, but this really lays it all out for anyone unsure of themselves or figuring they'll spend hours in the kitchen fussing over something that oughtta take them half an hour. Barring some minor knife skill stuff, I could see the real-time format really inspiring people to pull off some
I love this format!! Don't get me wrong, I love your more edited videos as well, but this is a really cool look into the process and your kitchen "flow" :) Also, for anyone reading this comment, his chicken schwarma tacos (which I believe are also a weeknighting recipe because they are easy peasy) are *chef's kiss* - we make those at least 2-3 times a month. Definitely going to add this to our rotation as this is even easier!
Would love to see a blooper reel from the grumpy takes.
DELETED The grumpy Brian haha
Loving the uncut, unfiltered B-man footage getting all choked up on the chili flake and trash talking the shrimp juice savers in the comments. The crisp editing we normally see is definitely awesome but the improvisational charisma is super entertaining. Everyone send weeds and sardines a kofi tip so he can buy a real window shade
haha.The cardboard is janky.
I love that he cleans while cooking.
I so appreciate your dedication to your channel and putting out easy to follow content! 🎉
Always a hit! ❤
Hi Brian, Follow your work since begining and it's nice to see that format that show us not only pro angles but even Lauren and her questions. It's more personal and I think it's a win! Keep up the good work! 👍
Love this format! Love the extra air time for Lorn too 😂
Really cool format! Specially with Lauren asking all these „normal“ questions!
You two make an amazing team! Always enjoy when Lorn jumps in for some fun times. Keep up the amazing work! :]
I want more weeknighting recipes please! Love this style too guys. Great job!
Even if those fantastic looking tacos take me twice as long, it would be the fastest time I ever got a meal made! Excellent video but, now you have to do a lot more of these. I always love it when Lorn plays a guest supporting role.
I love this format, just please keep giving all the little tips to help those of us who are learning what and how. But I have a tip for you. I also buy the pealed garlic, but I keep it in the freezer. Then I remove the cloves I need, put them in a very small bowl, microwave with cover 30 seconds, then crush the garlic. So easy and no waste at all.
Love the channel. Lorn on camera and comments/questions is a great addition!
Favorite video of yours ever. Recipe looks awesome, but the format of the video - more please. Doing it realtime was so much fun, and the interaction between the two of you is something other cooking channels are lacking. Locved you guys.
Love this format! ❤
I love watching you live. Thanks for all the time that you spent getting this right. Looks delicious.
You and Lorn are so perfect together. Love you B Man, definitely looking forward to Thursday🤙🏼🤙🏼
fantastic video. your production quality has gotten top notch, and doing it 'live' like this doesn't detract from that at all. I love cooking for/with someone else as well and this captured the spirit perfectly. I'm far from the first to say it but Lorn is a hidden gem too.
Man, I was gonna comment how I love this video so much and the only issue with it is that there are no grams for us non-American viewers as there usually is and then I see you did put those grams in the description. By far my favorite chef and one of my all-time favorite channels on CZcams in general. Stay awesome, Bri!
You do a really good job explaining yourself. And your practical approach to variety in practical meals is wonderful to see
BRO!!!! You're killing me... THAT LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING!!!
My weeknight "guac" hack is buying pre-made pico de gallo from the store and mixing some of that in with mashed avocado. FAR from traditional, but very easy and still tastes great.
Wow that’s a fun and crazy idea that I’m stealing
Fun video format. I like the usual videos too, so don't abandon those
Thanks so much for all your work Chef, very refreshing to see something live and unedited the way that most home-cooks make! Looking forward to trying these next week 😊
This video kinda had an old school food network vibe with the "live" aspect and conversational style, great stuff!
Thanks for watching! Hope you liked it
I usually always have shrimp in the freezer from Costco: This recipe is 100% happening this week! (I’ve got the chicken tikka recipe from last week planned for tonight: Chicken is marinating in the fridge right now)
AWESOME! Let me know how the tacos go.
I'm also making that one this week, lol! Great minds think alike!
Chicken Tikka tacos are great too!
One of the reasons I got into cooking at home 20 years ago was "30 minutes meals" with Rachael Ray. I LOVE this format. It makes it more realistic and practical for everyday people. Great episode!
I love how you break the whole recipe down and make it so approachable. Thank you love your show.
I adore the way you explain everything! You are super concise and informative and it’s really helpful!
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt and the Sorted guys does a lot of stuff in real time too, and I really dig that format. When you watch a pro cook in real time you learn multitasking, what needs to be prepped ahead, and how to improve efficiency. Awesome video Bri.
Love the regular format, but looking forward to more of these mixed in. It's a nice little change in perspective!
Lorn asking leading questions was awesome. Keep up the great work!
I made the entire menu for dinner today and everything was so delicious! I love that it was quick with simple ingredients. 💕 Thanks for sharing😊
That's perfectly good shrimp stock bro! Why did you get rid of that? You suck! 😊 - thanks for another great vid Brian.
Love love love Weeknighting! I do like this style as a sort of change of pace, but I personally don't like it when it becomes the norm, just because the information density tends to suffer.
I love how you formatted this video. It makes everything seem so much more attainable.
I especially liked the extra hints and tips that found their way into this format, even the unspoken things like cleaning as you go and loved Lauras input with pertinent questions. This style made the recipe feel really doable. I like your usual style too - looking forward to seeing more of both!
Yeaaaaah, this formats a HUGE winner for me. I love how you actually show us that it can be done in under 25 minutes, especially some tricks to get the prep time down. I know my prep time takes at least 70% of the effort and time needed to make something, especially when i want something NOW.
Ive made quite a few recipes of yours now and i havent had one complaint for any of them! Love your work and keep them coming!!
Desperately need to go grocery shopping, and yet, this recipe literally calls for things I legit still have in my pantry/freezer. SO GOOD. Thanks for helping tonights dinner be crave-able, instead of super basic and boring.
I like the discussion between the two of you. Not everyone does it well, but I like how you do it, and it adds quite a bit of value to explaining the process.
Tip: If you do get the bags of peeled garlic from the store, you can preserve it by adding it to a clean jar (sterilized would be best!) and filling up the jar with EVOO to cover the garlic completely. Stick it in your fridge and you'll have fresh garlic for months and you can use some of that garlic-infused olive oil in your dishes!
I really love the real-time format! Thanks for doing this!
LOVE this format!!!
Weeknighting is my favorite series of yours, Brian, and I love the new live format idea. Keep up the great work!
This video is AWESOME, seriously, I would watch an entire channel of nothing but this format. You guys saved my quick week night dinner tonight from being boring 🙌 I loved that you used ingredients we are already likely to have in the fridge/freezer. I don’t even have to go to the store! Thanks!
Loved seeing you two together
Love the format! Tremendous help honestly
Love it. Keep changing it up now and then, keep having fun and stay genuine and you will have years of success.
Loving the real time format and can't wait to try these tacos!
These shrimp taco's are perfect and the time line was right on.
Definitely enjoy this real time format. It's much more instructional to see the full process.
love your cooking videos! simple and straight to the point. Also love that you have the recipe listed down below
Love this format Bri. Keep em comin!
I just made these today. OUTSTANDING. Thank you!!!
Brian, you nailed this dish! I love everything about this. Lauren did a great job too!
I love Lorens comments and questions in this video!
Loved this! Always happy to see my girl!💗
By far one of the best videos I've seen you do, and the recipe was off the chart. My wife was blown away at how good this tasted and how short prep time was.
So good to see you making a realtime video. I really like when Ethan does it cuz it shows cooking from a realistic perspective and we get to see more about how you manage your time in the kitchen as well as why you make the choices you make (for example the real garlic in the guac). it's so good that you try new formats.
Format is great. Love the questions flying in from Lorn. Adds that extra level of relatability.
That looked fantastic for a simple and mostly healthy dinner! Love the format.
Your recipe inspired me and I made them tonight. Wonderful!
This format was awesome! Hearing your thought process on your decisions was awesome! Best one yet!
Bri, more of this format please! I love your videos and make a lot of your recipes, but I occasionally completely underestimate how long it will take to make. This really helps put it into perspective and seems doable for a weeknight.
That tip about seasoning the shrimp before cooking is great!
This taco looks amazing! I’m totally making it for this weekend’s dinner! Love the format, by the way
This was an amazing showcase of how weeknight cooking can be good while being concise and simple!
I think adding a real-time timer on the bottom or top right corner of the video can really help the overall narrative of being on time.
Yup - great format - Brian does a great job - fast, to the point, done.
Hi im in england and have recenrly stymbked upon your videos.OMG you habe changed my life this recioe wwas one of the tastiest things ive ever eaten.
Im working my way through the recipes and they are awsome,tasty,fresh and satisfying.The videos are so easy to follow ,fantastic just fantastic thankyou😊😊
made these for dinner tonight and they will 💯 be going into regular rotation. thanks!! you’re the best!
Weeknighting is truly awesome.
I’ve watched a lot of videos of cooking in my free time for learning new stuff and maybe bring an idea next time for me, but never had I seen this kind in one take and honestly it was the most informative and helpful one out there!
Thank you and now im going to make it myself
Thank you so much for this receipe, it looks delicious, and something that I am going to try myself. Have a great day!
i love this format!
Definitely going to make this recipe this week! 🤤
Loved your approach here. Reminded me of old-school Jacques Pepin where he did the meals in under 30mins without speeding things up!
This was great. Love the way it was shot and cut. Lauren you cool; all the right questions. And it looked delicious.
If every Weeknighting video was in this format I'd be thrilled. Great work Bri!
Brian and Lauren this format was fun!
Made these tacos for common dinner with my neighbours tonight. Lovely recipe and much applause that I kindly forward to you Brian. Keep up the good work 🎉
Such a cool format!! Amazing video
