Steps

10 minutes plus marinating time

1

First, thaw the shrimp. Place them in a deep bowl with water and add enough salt to make it as salty as the Mediterranean Sea. This helps the shrimp keep their texture while thawing.
2

Once thawed and cleaned (remove tails and shells), season the shrimp with garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, lime juice, and enough oil. Let them marinate in the refrigerator.
3

To cook, place the shrimp in a hot skillet (they already have oil from the marinade). When cooked through, serve them on tortillas and top with guacamole or pico de gallo salsa.
