Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few shrimp on each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
