Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 whole lime, juiced and zested
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 whole avocado, diced
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the juice and zest of one lime, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the shrimp is marinating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 5
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt with some extra lime juice and a pinch of salt to taste, creating a creamy topping.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by placing cooked shrimp on each tortilla, followed by diced avocado, sliced red cabbage, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
