- ½ tablespoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups red cabbage cut into thin strips

- Heat a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the outside is slightly browned and the shrimp are cooked through.
- While the shrimp is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, until they are soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing ¼ cup of the sliced red cabbage, the diced avocado, and 5-6 shrimp. Drizzle with the dressing and top with extra freshly chopped cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side.
