- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all the shrimp with the seasoning.
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the cabbage slaw. In a large bowl, toss together shredded red cabbage, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
To make the avocado cream, blend together the avocado, sour cream, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and honey in a food processor until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds each side until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, layer a generous spoonful of cabbage slaw on each tortilla. Top with a few cooked shrimp and drizzle with the avocado cream.
Serve the tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
