Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous amount of cooked shrimp, followed by shredded cabbage, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
