Instructions
Creating shrimp tacos with avocado is a simple process when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
3. Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas in another skillet or microwave. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and place a generous amount of shredded cabbage or lettuce in the center. Top with a few pieces of cooked shrimp and avocado slices.
5. Add Finishing Touches: Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings you prefer, such as sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce.
6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the tacos while they are hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor.
