  • Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and Sriracha in a bowl. Stir it all up so it gets nice and smooth.
  • Toss shrimp in a medium bowl with garlic, sea salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne.
  • Turn your pressure cooker on sauté mode and heat olive oil. Once hot, throw the shrimp in and quick toss for about a minute.
  • Seal your pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Do a quick release.
  • Warm tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

Notes

P.S. In a pinch, you can easily substitute all of the shrimp seasonings for 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning.
