Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine raw shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix sour cream with the juice of one lime and a tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Stir until well combined and set aside as the lime cilantro sauce.

Step 4

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until soft and pliable.

Step 5

To assemble the tacos: place slices of red cabbage and avocado onto each tortilla. Add several shrimp on top, drizzle with lime cilantro sauce, and sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Step 6

If desired, add a few dashes of hot sauce for extra heat.

Step 7

Serve the shrimp tacos immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
