Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top with the crunchy slaw, and drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce if desired.
  6. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
