Creating Shrimp Tacos with Cabbage Slaw is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
3. Make the Slaw: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous amount of cabbage slaw on each tortilla, followed by the cooked shrimp. Top with avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
6. Add Hot Sauce: Drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick, if you like.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your shrimp tacos while they are fresh and warm!
