Shrimp Tacos

I had been wanting to make shrimp tacos for a while and found a recipe on Pinterest that inspired me (of course!).  


2 lb. frozen shrimp, thawed and peeled
1 T. chili powder
1 T. onion powder
1 T. garlic powder
1 T. cumin
1 T. salt
Juice of 1 Fresh lime
Oil

First, mix all the dry ingredients and then toss onto the shrimp.  Squeeze the lime juice all over the shrimp and toss to cover.  Set aside.

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 Fresh lime
salt to taste

Next, combine all of these ingredients and set aside.

1/4 head cabbage, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 fresh lime
salt to taste

Then, combine these ingredients and set aside.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add shrimp in a single layer.  You will need to do this in at least 2 batches.  Cook 2-3 minutes and turn each shrimp.  Cook another 2 minutes and remove to a container with a bowl to keep warm.  Continue until all shrimp are cooked.

Heat up flour or corn tortillas, then place shrimp, yogurt sauce, cabbage and a bit of colby-jack cheese.  Delicious!
