Ingredients

• 300 grams Vegetarian shrimp (soy-based alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 cup Chipotle sauce
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetarian shrimp. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the vegetarian shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the shrimp are marinating, prepare the remaining taco ingredients: thinly slice red cabbage, chop fresh cilantro, and slice the avocado.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated vegetarian shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are lightly browned and heated through.

Step 6

In a separate dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they're pliable and fragrant.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing a layer of red cabbage on each tortilla, followed by a few pieces of the cooked vegetarian shrimp.

Step 8

Top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of fresh lime juice. Add chipotle sauce and sour cream (if using).

Step 9

Serve the tacos immediately while warm. Enjoy your Vegetarian Shrimp Tacos with additional lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
