Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ½ tsp black pepper
- red cabbage chopped
- avocado slices
- 3-4 lime
- cilantro chopped
- 8 inch tortillas warmed
Sauce
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons cilantro very finely chopped
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add shrimp and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until opaque and cooked through, tossing once halfway through cooking, about 3 - 4 minutes.
- In a bowl whisk together all sauce ingredients (sour cream, mayo, lime juice, cilantro) while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble tacos, layer red cabbage, shrimp, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro over warmed tortillas. Drizzle with Cilantro-Lime Sauce.
Notes
- Take care not to overcook the shrimp, they only take a few minutes to cook through and can become chewy in texture if overcooked.
- Warm the tortillas in the oven or on a gas cooktop before filling. This will help them to be more pliable so they won't rip when you fold them.
- I prefer to use full-fat sour cream and mayo for the creamiest flavor, but you can use low-fat if you prefer.
- This shrimp taco seasoning is so good and flavorful. Don't omit any of the spices.
- The shrimp taco sauce is made with equal parts sour cream and mayo but you can substitute them with yogurt and avocado oil mayo for a healthier alternative.
