In a large bowl, mix the raw shrimp, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated with the spices.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink. And set aside.
Meanwhile, warm the tortillas. Heat them in a skillet or grill for 30 seconds on each side, until they are warm and slightly charred. And set aside.
Now lay out the tortillas and spread a layer of thinly sliced cabbage, red onion, and chopped tomato on each one. Top with a few pieces of the cooked Cajun spiced shrimp.
Place slices of avocado, a sprinkle of chopped spinach, and a spoonful of taco sauce on top of the shrimp.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, squeeze lime juice over each taco, and serve immediately.

If you have leftovers, store the ingredients separately and assemble them before serving.
Wrap tortillas in foil or an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
Store shrimp in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or two months in the freezer.
Refrigerate veggies in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
