Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Small flour tortillas or soft wraps
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for sauce)
  • Pinch of salt and chili powder (optional, for sauce)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, toss gently to coat, and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt and chili powder if desired. Set aside.
  4. Thinly slice 1 cup shredded cabbage, ¼ cup red onion, chop cilantro, and slice 1 ripe avocado just before assembly.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque with a slight char.
  6. Warm tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel until pliable.
  7. Lay a tortilla flat, spread a spoonful of creamy sauce in the center, add shredded cabbage, red onion slices, shrimp, avocado slices, and sprinkle with cilantro.
  8. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold the sides in and roll tightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not over-marinate shrimp to avoid mushy texture; cook shrimp over medium-high heat for a nice sear; warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking; store shrimp and sauce separately from veggies and tortillas for meal prep; grilling shrimp is a great alternative for smoky flavor.
