Description

Quick and flavorful shrimp tacos packed with fresh ingredients and a zesty punch!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 8 small tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Hot sauce (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Marinade: In a bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil, juice of one lime, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for a few minutes.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until vibrant pink and opaque.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: In another skillet, warm tortillas for about one minute on each side until pliable.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Layer cooked shrimp on each tortilla, add shredded cabbage, drizzle with sour cream, and finish with hot sauce.
  5. Garnish: Squeeze fresh lime juice over assembled tacos for an extra zing.

Notes

Consider using Greek yogurt as a low-fat substitute for sour cream. For a dairy-free option, use avocado or dairy-free yogurt.
