Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine.
  5. Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with cooked shrimp and the cilantro-lime slaw. Add any optional toppings you prefer.

Notes

  • For a spicier taco, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp seasoning.
  • Mango salsa is a delicious alternative to the slaw for a tropical twist.
  • You can grill the shrimp instead of pan-searing for a smoky flavor.
