Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

Method
 

  1. Toss shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix cabbage, sour cream, cilantro, a pinch of salt, and a little lime juice for the slaw.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (400°F). Thread shrimp onto skewers. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side until opaque and charred.
  3. Warm tortillas briefly. Fill with slaw, shrimp, and avocado slices. Serve immediately with extra lime.

Notes

The shrimp benefit from at least 10 minutes in the seasoning before they hit the heat. Slaw can be made a few hours ahead, just keep the dressing separate if you prepare it early.
