Thaw the shrimp as per the package instructions. Pat it dry. I like to buy wild caught peeled and deveined shrimp but feel free to use any of choice.
Next, add the shrimp to a bowl with two teaspoons of avocado oil and the Cajun seasoning.
Heat up a pan on the stove, add another teaspoon of oil (if needed) and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side making sure to space them apart.
Take the shrimp off the heat and in that same pan add the tortilla one at a time. Heat up the tortilla until it has some colour on each side.
Note: you can also place the tortillas directly over your burner if you have a gas stove to char them on each side.
Now, mash the ripe avocados to a bowl with a pinch of salt and a touch of lime juice. Set aside.
Once the tortillas are charred, begin to assemble. I like to add a teaspoon or two of the avocado cream, followed by some thinly shredded purple cabbage, a few shrimp on top and a drizzle of spicy mayo.
Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
