Chipotle Lime Crema
1/2 cup sour cream

3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon honey
salt and pepper, to taste
1-2 Tablespoons half and half, if needed
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cumin, chipotle chili, lime juice, cilantro, honey, and salt and pepper. Whisk in half and half, if needed to thin mixture.
Cover and chill until needed. Place in a squeeze bottle.
On a grill pan or large non stick saute pan, cook shrimp over medium-high heat, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
Lightly grill corn tortillas. Take each tortilla and top with a spoonful of shrimp, some shredded cabbage, avocado slices and drizzle crema over top.
Serve alongside limes and more cilantro.
Note: To adjust heat use more or less chipotle chili in crema. Also, some pico de gallo would be another great addition over top of taco.
