Ingredients
  

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup shredded red cabbage

1 avocado, sliced

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 small jalapeño, minced (optional)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Season the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until slightly charred and pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer a handful of shredded red cabbage, a few shrimp, and some avocado slices. Top generously with the mango salsa.

            Serve: Arrange the completed tacos on a platter for family-style dining or plate individually for a nice presentation.
