I’ve said it before and I will say it again – I LOVE tacos. They are in my top 3 foods that I could without a doubt eat for the rest of my life with no complaints. There is just so much flavor and so many combinations, so you never get bored! These are some damn good shrimp tacos. Tacos really are great for a crowd because you just need to make the filling and put all the toppings out and let them do the work of assembly. It is also a perfect option for pickier eaters since you can customize what can go on top. As you can see in the picture my husband and I prefer different toppings. I love the simple diced onions, cheese, and crema; while he loves to pile on all the options! Shrimp tacos are some of the best because they are light and fresh, yet leave you satisfied. Shrimp also cook super quickly, so they are a great option when you are short on time. This dish comes together so quick that you won’t even be able to finish that next episode while you cook before you’re ready to eat! Don’t forget to make the avocado crema to top them off – its adds a creamy, zesty flavor that you don’t want to miss!
