Step 1
Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry and toss with 1 tsp chili powder and a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Warm the 4 tortillas in the same skillet for 30 seconds per side, until soft and lightly charred.
Step 4
Serve the shrimp over the 3 cups rice, with tortillas on the side. Garnish with the 1/4 cup cilantro and squeeze the 1 lime over everything.
