Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 piece Avocado (sliced)

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the tortillas: Start with a few shrimp in the center of each tortilla, then top with fresh cilantro, red onion, and slices of avocado.
If desired, drizzle a little hot sauce over the assembled tortillas for extra heat.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Lime Shrimp in Tortillas!
