Method
In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to make the shrimp marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined Argentinian red shrimp to the marinade, making sure to coat each shrimp well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sauté the shrimp until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside, about 3-4 minutes per side.
To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle until they are soft and pliable.
Place a few shrimp on each tortilla and top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
Use a kitchen scissors to quickly and easily peel and devein the shrimp.Prepping the shrimp marinade in advance and marinating the shrimp overnight can save time on the day of cooking.Using a griddle to warm the tortillas can speed up the process of making tacos for a large group.
