Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Cilantro Lime Shrimp Tacos:
1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
3. Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are pliable.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Place a few shrimp on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage and slices of avocado.
5. Add Cream and Lime: If desired, drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lime juice for added creaminess and flavor.
6. Serve Immediately: Arrange the tacos on a serving platter and serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh topping.
