Spicy Shrimp Tacos
Slightly sweet and full of spice, these Spicy Shrimp Tacos are a perfect for a quick, easy weeknight dinner.
Hi friends!
Just popping in to share a quick recipe with you today! I mentioned in yesterday’s Weekly Eats post that meals have definitely gotten a little crazier since Squish was born. Trying to find enough time for both hubby and I to workout after work, plus make time to hang out as a family means dinners need to be quick and easy.
These Spicy Shrimp Tacos fit the bill. The shrimp cook very quickly and taco shells are the perfect vehicle for shrimp all your favorite toppings! These are actually a spin on one of my go-to meals – Sweet and Spicy Shrimp with Soba Noodles – the recipe is fairly similar but eating them in taco form makes it a completely different meal!
Here’s how you make them:

For some reason I just can’t get enough of the thai chili sauce seafood combo. I especially love it on shrimp and salmon. I’m usually lazy and buy mine at the store but it had been on my list of things to try making at home. Lucky for me, my friend Kristina recently posted a recipe for Homemade Thai Chili Sauce so feel free to make your own! Sounds so simple!
Back to the tacos….in my opinion the guac is not optional…and I forgot to add feta to mine but it would have been delish!
