Cook: 8 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp lime juice fresh
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 0.5 tsp cumin
• 0.75 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 8 pieces warm corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 medium avocado sliced
• 0.75 cup salsa or pico de gallo

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add shrimp with the marinade and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and cooked through. Don't overcook or they'll become tough.
4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
5. Fill each tortilla with a few shrimp, shredded cabbage, sliced avocado, and a dollop of salsa.
6. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side. These tacos are best eaten fresh while the shrimp are still warm.
