Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large fresh shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 limes juice
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Method
 

  1. Start by rinsing the fresh shrimp under cold water to remove any impurities. Once rinsed, pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the cleaned shrimp with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. While your shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas in another pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
  5. Take a warm tortilla and layer it with shredded green cabbage, add the cooked shrimp, avocado slices, cilantro, and drizzle with lime-infused sour cream.
