Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing the Fish (Optional)

  1. 3

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the fish fillets and coat well. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated fish and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until it's cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Build the Tacos

    Place a portion of shrimp or fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Serve with lime wedges on the side and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
