In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper. Add in shrimp; toss to coat. Cover; refrigerate 20 minutes.
Cook shrimp in a skillet on medium heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat; cover to keep warm.
Use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a small pan, about 2 tablespoons. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook tortillas one at a time until soft, about 30 seconds on each side. Fold over to make a taco shell. As you cook each tortilla, place them on paper towels to absorb oil.
Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream:
Stir all ingredients together in a bowl.
Spoon 5 shrimp into each taco shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cilantro-lime sour cream.
Serve.
