1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper (or more, if you like things spicy)
salt and pepper

2 oranges, segments removed
1 ruby red grapefruit, segments removed
1 blood orange, segments removed
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp mint, chopped
For the avocado
1 ripe avocado
1 lime

Tortillas
Toss the shrimp with the olive oil and spices and broil until just cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Mash the avocado together with a sprinkle of salt and the juice of the lime, until it is a smooth paste and set aside.
Mix all of the citrus in a bowl together with the olive oil, salt, pepper and mint.
Assemble the tacos: heat up the tortillas over a low flame or covered in a low oven until they are warm. Spread with some of the avocado and then add some shrimp. Top with the citrus salsa and enjoy!
