Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 20-30 minutes to soak in the flavors.

    Prepare the Tortillas: While the shrimp is marinating, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

        Assemble the Tacos: Layer the warm tortillas with a handful of shredded red cabbage, followed by the grilled shrimp. Top with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

          Finish and Serve: Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
