  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To create your own magic at home, here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Feel free to substitute corn tortillas with flour tortillas if that’s what you have on hand. The same goes for the cabbage—any crunchy greens will do!

Instructions

Let’s turn these ingredients into something special:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the shrimp are golden and cooked through.
  4. While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the slaw by combining the cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss to mix well.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of slaw onto each tortilla, followed by the air-fried shrimp. Top with slices of avocado and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
