Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Make tomato sauce

In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 10-12 minutes to thicken and develop flavor.

2. Season shrimp

In a bowl, toss shrimp with chili powder, cumin, paprika, and minced garlic, plus a pinch of salt. Add lime juice and toss to coat. Let sit 5 minutes to meld flavors.

3. Cook shrimp

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add seasoned shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

4. Warm tortillas

In a clean skillet, warm the corn tortillas about 30 seconds per side until pliable. Keep wrapped in a clean towel to stay warm.

5. Prepare avocado and garnish

Slice avocado and chop cilantro. Slice lime into wedges for serving. Set everything near the tortillas for easy assembly.

6. Assemble tacos

For each tortilla, add 2-3 shrimp, spoon some tomato sauce over, top with avocado slices, and garnish with cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge over the taco and serve immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side.
