For the Shrimp

Method

For the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and mix well to ensure they're evenly coated. Let the shrimp 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 in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

For the Slaw

  1. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to mix all the ingredients together. Adjust salt to taste and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

For the Assembly

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds per side, until they are pliable but not crispy.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a few shrimp, a generous amount of slaw, and top with slices of avocado. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt on top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
