Pairs well with a side of black beans, rice, or a simple salad for a complete meal. Don’t forget to serve with extra lime wedges for an added tangy flavor boost!

Remember, shrimp tacos are not only delicious but also a healthy option that can be customized to your taste. Experiment with different toppings like pickled onions, jalapenos, or different types of cheese to make each taco experience unique.

Cooking Tips:

To save even more time, use pre-cooked shrimp and just toss them in the spice mixture before heating through. For an extra crispy taco, try frying the tortillas in a little oil until they are just crispy enough to hold their shape but still pliable.
