Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

1 ripe avocado, sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ cup crema or sour cream

Lime wedges for serving

Optional: sliced jalapeños for spice

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

    Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it is clean. You can lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

      Grill the Shrimp: Once the grill is hot, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a minute.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. You can also warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat.

          Assemble the Tacos: For each taco, place a few grilled shrimp on a tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with crema or sour cream and, if desired, add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick of heat.

            Serve: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your Tropical Breeze Grilled Shrimp Street Tacos!
