Tacos are just an amazing dinner idea any day. My family loves them so much that we have them almost weekly. I have been seeing shrimp tacos all over lately and knew I needed to try to make some for us to try. my kids and husband loved how they turned out and we will be making them again for sure.
I’m so happy to share this recipe for shrimp tacos with you on how I made them. this time I purchased tortillas but as always you can make them yourself. I have a great recipe for tortillas that is so easy to make and delicious.
when cooking make sure you measure with your heart. if there is an ingredient you dont like the flavor of maybe cut it back a bit or cut it out entirely. you are cooking for you and your family and know what they like and don’t like.
of course never be afraid to try anything new either or even something your have tried before but didn’t like in the past. I know as I grow I’m changing the way I look at food and my taste buds are changing a lot as well.
