Ingredients
  

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple for color)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Optional: Salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the shrimp in the spices. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

    Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

      Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a warm oven.

        Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer a handful of shredded cabbage, a few shrimp, and slices of avocado. Top with freshly chopped cilantro.

          Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the assembled tacos for a zesty kick. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.

            Enjoy your Easy Shrimp Tacos that are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun gathering with friends!
