Prepare the Avocado Crema: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.

    Cook the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Sauté the Shrimp: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan, lightly heat the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: On each warm tortilla, add a handful of shredded cabbage, a few shrimp, and a drizzle of avocado crema. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.

            Serve: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
