Shrimp Tacos

[heart_this] · Nov 12, 2007 · 14 Comments

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.

    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!

    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.

    By the way . . . if you haven’t already, please check out http://www.generouspour.com to help me and Clos du Bois raise money for Share Our Strength. You don’t have to buy anything, pay anything or even do anything — other than download a cool song by Corinne Bailey Rae. Thanks!
