Method

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the shrimp cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a flame for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Finely shred the cabbage, slice the avocado, and chop the fresh cilantro.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a few shrimp in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
