Avocado cuts some of the sour cream in our quick crema loaded with cilantro, for a healthier taco sauce that takes these shrimp tacos to the next level. Shrimp cook up super-fast, making them the ultimate taco filling for a fast weeknight dinner that's also impressive and delicious enough for a weekend dinner party.

  • Stir cabbage, carrot, scallion, the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a medium bowl.

  • Toss shrimp, chili powder and cumin together in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Spread a generous 1 tablespoon of the avocado sauce over one half of each tortilla. Top each with about 1/4 cup of the cabbage mixture and 1/3 cup of the shrimp. Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro among the tacos and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
