Prep:

Combine the ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, olive oil, lime juice and zest and garlic in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the shrimp and season and let marinate for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, start on the slaw. Combine all the slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix to until the cabbage is evenly coated. Season to taste. Place in the fridge and keep cool until ready to serve.
Make the guacamole by combining all ingredients and stirring to coat the avocado. Season to taste and keep aside.
Next, start your salsa verde. Toast the cumin seeds in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the toasted cumin seeds with the rest of the ingredients in a blender and pulse to combine.
Keep your shrimp aside and warm and heat the tortillas. In a skillet over medium heat, add one tortilla at a time, cooking for one minute per side or until it starts to brown. Keep the hot tortillas in aluminum foil to stay warm.
To make the tortillas, start by placing the slaw on the bottom of the tortilla. Add 4 shrimp and a spoonful of guacamole. Top with the spicy salsa verde. Repeat.
Serves 8 shrimp tortillas.
