Recipe Note

Serving Suggestions

These shrimp tacos pair beautifully with:

Mexican rice or lime cilantro rice
Refried beans or black beans
Fresh guacamole and chips
White queso dip
Watermelon or coconut margaritas
Homemade churros for dessert!

Storage & Reheating

Leftover shrimp: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with extra salsa verde or microwave in short bursts.
Slaw: Keeps well for up to 2 days. May wilt slightly, but still tastes great!
Assembled tacos: Best enjoyed fresh. Assemble only what you’ll eat immediately.
Use "EZ peel" shrimp for faster prep.
Dry shrimp well before cooking to get the best sear.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet—sear in batches if needed.
Warm tortillas directly over a gas burner or skillet for best flavor.
Make it a party: Serve with a taco bar setup so guests can build their own!
