Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp are grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately while warm, paired with lime wedges on the side.
