Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 lb White fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 cups Cabbage (shredded)
- 1 whole Avocado (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Hot sauce
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp and fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and fish pieces to the skillet, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the seafood. Squeeze half of the lime over the seafood.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, hot sauce, and the juice of the remaining half lime to create a tangy sauce.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of seafood onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of the sour cream sauce.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
