Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 unit Lime
• 8 leaves Cabbage leaves
• 1 unit Avocado
• 0.25 unit Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 0.25 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Peel and devein the shrimp, if not already cleaned. Rinse under cool water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the cooked shrimp for added flavor.

Step 6

Prepare the avocado by cutting it in half and removing the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it lightly with a fork. Dice the red onion and roughly chop the cilantro, then add both to the mashed avocado. Mix well.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, take a cabbage leaf and fill it with a portion of the cooked shrimp. Top with a dollop of the avocado mixture and a small spoonful of sour cream.

Step 8

Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
