Remember that chopped green goddess salad that went viral a few weeks back? Well, if you thought that was good, you'll love this slaw version made with even less ingredients!

What ingredients you need to make shrimp tacos:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Shrimp, uncooked, thawed or fresh, peeled and tail-off
  • 1 tbsp. Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp. Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp. Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper

What ingredients you need to make the Green Goddess Cabbage Slaw:

  • 1 small Green Cabbage, shredded
  • Juice of 2 Limes
  • 1 cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Bubbies' Bread and Butter Pickles, finely chopped

What does Bubbies Bread and Butter Chips (Pickles) taste like?

Let's just say, I could eat an entire jar of these pickles in one sitting! They are sweeter pickles that still hold their natural crunch and a tad bit of saltiness to compliment their special spice blend.

How to use leftover Bubbies Pickle Brine?

Bubbies pickle brine works as a great substitute to vinegar in just about any savory recipe. It adds wonderful flavor to homemade salad dressings, marinades, and cocktails.

What does it mean that Bubbies pickles are “Fermented with Naturally Present Cultures”?

Bubbies' fermentation process harnesses the bacteria cultures that are naturally present on our cucumbers and cabbage to transform these amazing veggies into delicious fermented pickles, relish and sauerkraut! The particular bacteria in our fermentation is lactobacillus, though the strains of this bacteria vary from batch to batch! This “lacto-fermentation” is the magic process behind our products as well as kimchi, kombuchas, yogurts and much, much more! (Quoted from their website FAQs).

Where can I find Bubbies’ Bread and Butter Chips?

The beautiful thing is that Bubbies' relishes, pickles, and sauerkraut can be found in most grocery stores across America! I usually buy mine at Whole Foods, but you can also find them at Publix, Harris Teeter, Fresh Market, and more. Find a location near you by clicking here.
