Preparation

Step 1

1. In a bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper. Add in shrimp and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to give the flavors a chance to marry.

2. Cook shrimp in a skillet on medium heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn of heat and cover to keep warm.

3. Use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a small pan, about 2 Tbsp heat over medium-high heat. Cook tortillas one at a time until soft, about 30 seconds on each side. Fold over to make a taco shell. As you cook each tortilla, place them on paper towels to absorb any of the oil left over.

4. Spoon 5 shrimp into each taco shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cilantro-lime sour cream.
