Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! To finish off my Mexican fiesta run, I would like to share these delicious shrimp tacos on Taco Tuesday! I love shrimp tacos and they are extremely fast and easy to make. When I am running short of time I use fajita seasoning from Whole Foods, but the blend of spices in this recipe is so much better.
I like my tacos slightly spicy so if you want less of a kick, I suggest adding a little less seasoning. I also add a lot of toppings. I love to make fajitas, guac, and salsa for the topping. And I finish them off with some cheese and sour cream. But the best thing about having tacos is that whatever you want to put in it, is completely up to you!
