Shrimp Tacos
The other day I came across a recipe for shrimp tacos which sounded really interesting. The use of shrimp in tacos sounded like a refreshing change from the standard ground beef tacos. I am always looking for ways to fit more prawns into my meal plan and shrimp tacos was a perfect excuse. The shrimp tacos were pretty tasty and the recipe was really easy and quick. I placed some salsa verde and cilantro in the tacos. You could also add any other tacos toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, etc.
Shrimp Tacos
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (ground)

This is an original idea for me. Shrimp tacos, but I love it. And the colour of the shrimps near the lime ,made my mouth watering
Kevin - Love the post...aren't shrimp tacos the bomb-diggy;)?!!
Fish tacos also sound interesting!
wow!
i am impressed that you can make all these interesting dishes everyday! (is it everyday?)
i eat out more of the time. haha...
Kevin, I'd give up meat if I had seafood tacos all the time.
Also, I think a cilantro-sour cream would have been the icing on the cake!
yet another great looking dish, kevin!
Looks gorgeous! I love your photos. Here's another recipe for shrimp tacos that I wrote for Cooking Light earlier this year . . . it's ended up being one of my favorites.
