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.
