Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 tablespoon lime juice

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

    Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill or sauté the corn kernels in a pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until charred. If using frozen or canned corn, heat it in a skillet until warmed through. Drizzle with lime juice and mix well. Set aside.

      Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill (or a grill pan) to medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp for easy grilling, or place them directly on the grill. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp are grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer a generous spoonful of grilled shrimp, followed by a scoop of the charred corn. Top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving and enjoy your delicious grilled shrimp & corn tacos!
