Instructions

In a bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and salt until smooth to create the crema. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Cook in batches if necessary.
Warm the tortillas in the skillet if desired.
Assemble by layering cabbage on the tortillas, followed by corn and shrimp, then drizzle with cilantro lime crema. Garnish with queso fresco and cilantro.

Notes

For extra spice, consider adding diced jalapeños to the shrimp mixture.
Feel free to substitute shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different twist.
Make sure to serve the tacos immediately for the best flavor and texture.
