[7 SP for 2 Tacos] This dish just sounds amazing, and with only a couple of tweeks from the original author's version, it is now Weight Watchers friendly. This is delicious spice-loaded shrimp layered on smashed avocado topped with a cabbage slaw that is topped with a homemade creamy lime sauce and topped with crumbly, cheese. Wrapped in a corn tortilla with a wedge of lime squeezed over the top? Don’t mind if I do.

Instructions
- Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
- Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
- Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
- To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.
