Instructions
Creating Shrimp and Avocado Tacos can be straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Shrimp: Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if they aren’t prepared yet. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Add Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the shrimp are thoroughly coated.
3. Heat a Pan: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Allow it to heat for a minute.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
5. Prepare the Tortillas: While the shrimp is cooking, heat the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a flame for a few seconds until warm and pliable.
6. Assemble Tacos: Place a few shrimp in each taco, then top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
7. Serve with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos just before serving to enhance the flavors.
