Creating Baja Shrimp Tacos is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add marinated shrimp to the pan.
3. Cook Shrimp: Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
4. Warm Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
5. Assemble Tacos: Lay warmed tortillas on a plate. Distribute cooked shrimp evenly among them.
6. Add Toppings: Top each taco with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and slices of avocado.
7. Finish with Sauce: Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top if desired. Drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
8. Serve with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over tacos before serving for bright flavor enhancement.
