Discover how to make Zesty Lime Shrimp Tacos in this post.

These shrimp tacos are fresh and light! Delicious and easy for a quick weeknight meal too.

I’m a big fan of shrimp and will take any opportunity to enjoy it but this recipe is also great with chicken or fish if that is more to your liking.

This is one of those meals that take just a few minutes to prepare because shrimp cooks up quick. For me it’s perfect during the sweltering months of summer when you don’t want to stand over a hot stove.

The zest of lime and seasonings taste so light and fresh with the shrimp too so it is not too heavy on the tummy.

Ingredients

1 lb Shrimp, fresh shelled and deveined and remove tails
1 c Zesty Lime Vinaigrette Dressing , I used Kraft
1/2 tsp Creole Seasoning
Pinch of Salt and Cracked Black Pepper to taste
1 tsp Olive Oil
Soft Taco Shells, or crunchy if you prefer
Favorite Toppings

In a mixing bowl, combine dressing, creole seasoning, salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
