Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all shrimp are coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side. This helps in making them pliable.

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each warmed tortilla, place a handful of shredded cabbage, a few pieces of cooked shrimp, a couple of slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
