Shrimp Tacos

When I was growing up, one of my favorite fast-foods was tacos!

I loved everything about tacos: the choice of protein cooked in hot spices, the tangy slaw, the creamy guacamole, a dollop of sour cream or salsa…

C’mon!

Everything about a taco works. It’s a brilliant little delicious creation stuffed into a tortilla.

I still LOVE tacos to this day.

Except, now, I don’t go to the local fast-food joint for them, I mostly prepare them at home.

You can choose any protein for these tacos: tofu, beef, pork, chicken, fish.

I chose shrimp, because they are so easy to make.

So, if you’re short on time and want a quick meal, try these yummy Shrimp Tacos.

I like to stuff them with my Smoky Spicy Slaw (recipe here)
