Instructions for Preparing Blackened Shrimp Tacos
Prepare the Blackened Shrimp
In a bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in olive oil, then coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Cook the Shrimp
Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are cooked through and have a charred appearance.
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Place a generous amount of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by the blackened shrimp. Top with avocado slices, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Add sour cream or yogurt if desired.
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately while hot, with extra lime wedges on the side.
