Ingredients
Scale
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 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
Notes
For added heat, include diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Substitute shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
