Thinly shred cabbage, dice avocado, finely dice red onion, and coarsely chop cilantro. Arrange all toppings in individual bowls for easy assembly.
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange shrimp in a single layer and sauté 1-2 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through. Remove shrimp from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Toast tortillas directly over a gas flame for about 10 seconds per side, or heat on a griddle until lightly golden and pliable. Alternatively, broil tortillas in the oven for 2 minutes until browned spots appear.
Place shrimp on each warmed tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado, red onion, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Drizzle with garlic-lime crema sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Tips
Shrimp seasoning can be replaced with 1 tablespoon of store-bought taco seasoning for convenience.
Cooked shrimp can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
Make the shrimp, toppings, and sauce ahead and store separately in airtight containers. Heat tortillas just before serving.
To toast tortillas on a gas stove, carefully char each side for about 10 seconds until edges darken slightly.
