Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Notes
For added crunch, consider adding diced radishes or pickled onions as a topping.
If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Sriracha or substitute it with a milder hot sauce.
