Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the large shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Taco Assembly

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they're pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer a generous amount of shredded cabbage, followed by the cooked shrimp. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and pico de gallo. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delicious Ala Carte Shrimp Tacos!
