Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, juice of 1 lime, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the avocado lime sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, juice of 1 lime, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, salt, and water. Blend until smooth. Add more water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.
To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and add a portion of red cabbage and a few shrimp.
Drizzle with the avocado lime sauce, then top with sliced radishes and fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Shrimp Tacos!
