Description

Quick and flavorful shrimp tacos packed with juicy shrimp, crisp cabbage, and creamy avocado—perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Ensure the shrimp are evenly coated to enhance the flavor of each bite.
