Directions: |
Directions:In medium bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili and onion powders and salt. Add in shrimp and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 min or up to 24 hrs. Heat a large heavy duty or cast iron skillet on high heat for 2 min. Add the olive oil and shrimp. Cook in a skillet over med-high heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 min. Turn off heat and finish with a squeeze of lime.
For salsa: combine tomato, avocado, jalapeno, salt, pepper, lime juice and cilantro in a small bowl and directly over salsa to prevent discoloration and refrigerate.
To assemble: Stir sour cream with cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside. Grill tortillas on stovetop over the flame until lightly charred (optional). Spoon avocado salsa generously over warm tortillas, then top with 3 shrimp and drizzle with sour cream sauce. Serve tacos with lime wedges on the side. |
