Instructions
- Season the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

- Serve immediately: Serve the shrimp tacos hot to enjoy the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
Notes

- Substitute slaw mix with finely shredded lettuce if preferred.
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust seasoning levels to suit personal taste, especially the chili powder for spiciness.
