Preparation

Place the shrimp in a large bowl, add all the spices (smoked paprika, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, thyme and salt) and mix well to coat evenly.
In a non-stick skillet heated over high heat, pour a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
In a small bowl, put the Greek yogurt, chopped garlic, lime juice, honey and Tabasco (if desired). Salt, pepper and mix well.
In the bottom of each tortilla, spread about 1 tbsp of sauce. Add shrimp, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, a few red onion slices and a few fresh cilantro leaves.
