Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

  1. 3

    Combine Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 4

    Dress the Slaw

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Set aside to let flavors meld.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Build the Tacos

    To each tortilla, add a portion of cooked shrimp, a generous scoop of cabbage slaw, and top with slices of avocado. Add sour cream and hot sauce if desired.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
