FISH TACOS AND AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small bowl mix together all of the spices to create your fish taco seasoning. Then sprinkle the fish with the seasoning. If you don't want spicy fish, use about half of the seasoning.
• Place the fish in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the fish is flaky.
• While the fish is cooking place the avocado, cumin, salt, lime juice, and yogurt in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Take your fish out of the oven and assemble your tacos. Start with a warm tortilla, layer on some cabbage, then the fish, and top with the avocado crema per taco.

• Rinse defrosted shrimp under cold water, drain, and pat dry.
• Combine shrimp, chili powder, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coriander, and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well.
