Taco Filling

Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until warmed and pliable.

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer shredded cabbage, diced tomato, sliced red onion, grilled shrimp, and chopped cilantro. Top with avocado slices.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
