Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and cilantro. Drizzle with avocado lime crema.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
