Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 purple cabbage
  • 1/4 bunch cilantro
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 3 tbsp lime juice

  • 1/2 tsp sriracha
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 4 oz cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with minced garlic, garlic powder, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and smoked paprika. Mix everything thoroughly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  3. Prepare toppings: While the shrimp cooks, slice the avocado, shred the purple cabbage, and chop the cilantro and red onion. Crumble the cotija cheese for an added flavor burst.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas until they’re pliable and slightly toasted.
  5. Assemble tacos: Place a generous helping of shrimp on each tortilla. Top with avocado, cabbage, cilantro, onion, and cheese. Drizzle with sour cream and sriracha to taste.
  6. Serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra zing and enjoy this delightful dish while hot!
