Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, juice of one lime, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 5
While the shrimp cook, prepare your toppings. In a small bowl, mix sliced cabbage, cilantro, and a tablespoon of lime juice.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
