Instructions

1- Prep the Shrimp:

Start by peeling and deveining the jumbo shrimp if not already done.
Pat them dry with a paper towel.

2- Marinate the Shrimp:

In a large mixing bowl, add the shrimp.
Season with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the spices.

3- Cook the Shrimp:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet.
Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Be cautious not to overcook them; they should be plump and juicy.

4- Toast the Tortillas:

In a separate pan, lightly toast the corn tortillas over medium heat.
Toast for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are warm and slightly charred.

5- Assemble the Tacos:

On each tortilla, spread a layer of guacamole, followed by a handful of lettuce.
Add a few pieces of cooked shrimp, then top with mango salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
Finish with a drizzle of your chosen hot sauce for an extra kick.

6- Serve Immediately:

Enjoy your freshly made shrimp tacos while they are warm.
