Ingredients

1 pound raw jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, thawed)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tsp paprika

½ tsp ground thyme

½ tsp oregano

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp cumin

¼ tsp cayenne

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

8 pieces tortillas (flour or corn, 8-inch)

2 medium avocados (in chunks)

1 cup red cabbage (shredded)

1 medium mango (in chunks)

1 lime (1 tbsp juice)

cilantro (optional for serving)

sour cream (optional for serving)

Method

Thaw the shrimp if needed and pat dry with paper towels.

In a medium bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne, thyme, oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt and pepper.

Add the shrimp to the seasoning and toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the avocado, mango and red cabbage in a bowl and toss with lime juice. Set aside.

Place a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add olive oil and garlic and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the seasoned shrimp and sauté for about 2 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and start to curl. Remove from heat.

Heat the tacos in a dry skillet, if desired.

Assemble the tacos: place a few shrimp into the tortillas followed by a large spoonful of salsa. Garnish with optional cilantro and sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
