- Zest and juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions:
Prepare the Shrimp
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest, and lime juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
Make the Cilantro Lime Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir until smooth. Set the sauce aside to drizzle on the tacos later.
Cook the Shrimp
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink.
- Flip the shrimp and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until they are fully pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Warm the Tortillas
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re soft and pliable. Keep the tortillas warm by covering them with a clean towel.
Assemble the Tacos
- Place a few shrimp on each tortilla. Top with red cabbage, shredded lettuce, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Drizzle the cilantro lime sauce over the top, adding extra lime wedges on the side for a burst of brightness.
