Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Warm the tortillas in the same skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with lime juice to create a tangy crema.
Assemble the tacos by layering each tortilla with shredded red cabbage, cooked shrimp, avocado slices, and a drizzle of the lime crema.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and a dash of hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
