Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and drizzle with lime juice.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Place a generous amount of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by the grilled shrimp.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce

    Top the shrimp with your choice of signature sauces. Serve immediately.
