Edit
Spicy pan grilled shrimp tacos loaded with a zest honey cilantro lime slaw and topped with a creamy sriracha sauce. these tacos are highly spiced, sweet, zesty and bursting with flavor.
Shrimp tacos have become a weeknight preferred. They’re exquisite quick and clean to make, gift very well and will make you look like a pro.
This recipe is inspired by my popular highly spiced shrimp and avocado salsa tacos. as opposed to an avocado salad, we’re switching things up by way of the usage of a honey cilantro lime slaw and topping the tacos off with a creamy sriracha sauce. The spice from the shrimp paired with the crunch and candy trace of honey from the slaw and the creamy sriracha sauce will make your mouth sing. the mix is a perfect blend of sweet, zesty, crunchy, highly spiced and creamy!! I had three tacos capturing this recipe and needed to maintain myself lower back from consuming greater.
