Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • While shrimp marinates, prepare the lime crema. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth.
  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  • Warm the tortillas according to package directions (in the oven, microwave, or on a dry skillet).
  • Assemble the tacos. Spoon the cooked shrimp into the warm tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and diced red onion.
  • Drizzle with lime crema and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

Adjust spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder. For a spicier crema, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
