While the shrimp cook, make the slaw by tossing cabbage and carrot with Greek yogurt, half the lime juice, salt, and pepper.

| Step 4 |
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side.

Probiotics: The cabbage slaw adds fiber and, if you add a squeeze of lime, creates a lightly fermented crunch that’s great for your gut.
Vitamin B12: Shrimp is an excellent source of B12, which supports nervous system function and helps your body produce energy from food.
