Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large tortilla wraps (flour or corn)

1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss well to coat. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) or use a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

      Grill the Shrimp: Once the grill is hot, skewer the shrimp (if using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand). Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.

        Prepare the Wraps: While the shrimp cool, lay out the tortilla wraps on a clean surface. Divide the shredded cabbage evenly amongst the wraps.

          Assemble the Wraps: Top the cabbage with grilled shrimp, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt over the top for creaminess.

            Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll up from the bottom to encase all the delicious fillings.

              Serve: Slice the wraps in half for easier handling and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
