- Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- Chili powder – 1 tablespoon
- Cumin – 1 teaspoon
- Paprika – 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
- Pepper – 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss shrimp in the spice mixture, allowing them to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Make the Slaw: In a separate bowl, mix shredded cabbage, lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, then toss everything together.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and pink.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or on the grill for 30 seconds per side.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place grilled shrimp in each tortilla, top with slaw and slices of avocado. Add sour cream or crema if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy with rice, beans, or grilled vegetables.
Notes
- Shrimp cooks quickly, so be sure not to overcook to avoid rubbery texture.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 10 minutes for maximum flavor infusion.
- The slaw can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
