Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound medium raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 jalapeño (seeds removed)
- 1 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and dried basil. Use this mixture to thoroughly coat all the shrimp.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shrimp, lime juice, and soy sauce. Cook the shrimp until pink on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a food processor or blender, blend together the sour cream, buttermilk, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
- To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas and then start with a layer of homemade or store-bought guacamole and spread it on the bottom center of each tortilla. Then layer it with a small bunch of green cabbage followed by the cooked shrimp. Drizzle some of the cilantro-lime sauce over each taco and then top with a squeeze of lime juice, feta cheese, and chopped cilantro.
- Plate and enjoy!
