Ingredients

  • 12 oz Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 Small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 2 Lime
  • 2 cups Shredded cabbage
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped(optional)
  • Hot sauce(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt to make the lime crema. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Pat the shrimp dry and toss with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque, about 5-6 minutes total. Remove from heat and squeeze the juice of half a lime over the shrimp.

  4. 4

    While the shrimp cook, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for about 30 seconds per side.

  5. 5

    Toss the shredded cabbage with the juice of the remaining half lime and a pinch of salt to make a quick slaw.

  6. 6

    Assemble the tacos: layer cabbage slaw on each tortilla, top with 3-4 shrimp, drizzle with lime crema, and finish with cilantro and hot sauce if desired.
