• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, juice of 1 lime, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.

Step 2

Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the avocado lime sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, juice of 1 lime, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, salt, and water. Blend until smooth. Add more water if needed to reach the desired consistency.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.

Step 5

To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and add a portion of red cabbage and a few shrimp.

Step 6

Drizzle with the avocado lime sauce, then top with sliced radishes and fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Shrimp Tacos!
