  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas

  • 1 4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
  2. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  3. While the shrimp is cooking, prepare the avocado cream. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  5. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of cooked shrimp into each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, a drizzle of avocado cream, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the tacos on a rustic wooden board lined with parchment paper. Add lime wedges and a small bowl of extra avocado cream for dipping. Use colorful plates to enhance the visual appeal!
