Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 0.5 lb White fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 whole Lime
• 2 cups Cabbage (shredded)
• 1 whole Avocado (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tbsp Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp and fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shrimp and fish pieces to the skillet, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the seafood. Squeeze half of the lime over the seafood.

Step 5

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, hot sauce, and the juice of the remaining half lime to create a tangy sauce.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of seafood onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of the sour cream sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
