Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced

2 tablespoons lime juice

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño. Drizzle fresh lime juice over the mixture and season with salt. Stir gently to combine, cover, and set aside to let the flavors meld.

    Season the Shrimp: In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.

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

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate, dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

          Assemble Tacos: On each tortilla, place a layer of shredded red cabbage, followed by a generous portion of cooked shrimp. Top with a spoonful of mango salsa and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.

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