Steps

  • 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Add in the shrimp and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    In a small pan over medium-high heat, add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom, about 2 tablespoons. Cook the tortillas one at a time until soft, about 30 seconds on each side. Fold over to make a taco shell. As you cook each tortilla, place them on paper towels to absorb any of the leftover oil.

  • 5

    Make the cilantro-lime sour cream. In a small bowl, add the sour cream, cilantro, cumin, lime zest, and juice. Stir well to combine.

  • 6

    Remove the shrimp from the grill. Add shrimp into each taco shell. Top with cabbage, tomato, avocado, and cilantro-lime sour cream, as desired. Enjoy!
