- 1 clove finely minced garlic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed

Directions
- Make the Cilantro-Lime Sauce by whisking all of its ingredients together in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to suit your taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce until you are ready to use it.
- For the shrimp, combine the chipotle chili powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss until the seasoning coats them evenly.
- Warm the olive oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are fully cooked and opaque, turning them once midway through, about 3 – 4 minutes.
- Build the tacos by layering the cabbage, shrimp, avocados and Cotija onto the taco shells. Finish with a drizzle of the Cilantro-Lime Sauce.
