Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each warmed tortilla, add a handful of shredded cabbage, a few pieces of cooked shrimp, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt, serve with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor, and enjoy!
