Shrimp Tacos

***IS IT OBVIOUS YET THAT I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD?**

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chile powder
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 lime

For serving:
Warm tortillas
Shredded lettuce
Salsa
Avocados
Lime wedges

Add the shrimp to a large bowl. Add the garlic, cumin, chile powder, pepper and salt. Toss well until all the shrimp are coated. Let sit for 15 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil. Once the oil runs quickly in the pan, add the shrimp. Cook, tossing often, until shrimp are cooked through, 5-8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and squeeze lime over the shrimp and toss.

Serve shrimp in a tortilla with whatever condiments you want.

**I have also used already cooked shrimp. Just thaw shrimp, mix spices and let sit as instructed above. Easy and delish.
