Cajun Shrimp Tacos

Cajun Taco Tuesday - Prime Shrimp

It’s taco Tuesday, again, but this time with a Cajun twist. Our versatile Signature seasoned Prime Shrimp pair perfectly with a variety of taco fixings, from classic slaw to pickled veggies. With our quick and easy boil-in-bag cooking, this recipe will hit your dinner table in less than 15 minutes.

How to Make Shrimp Tacos

Normally, the time it takes to thaw, peel, devein, and cook shrimp makes shrimp tacos a labor-intensive endeavor. But with Prime Shrimp, the star of your meal is ready in less than 10 minutes with minimal effort. That leaves you to just set a timer and focus on the toppings.

The beauty of using our Signature seasoned shrimp is that our Cajun shrimp seasoning really goes with a wide variety of toppings. Add the shrimp to a tortilla and top with avocado slices, fresh mango salsa, and shredded lettuce or cabbage. Spice it up with sliced jalapeños or squeeze some fresh lime juice on top for added sharpness. Make it your own – you can’t go wrong here.

What to Serve with Shrimp Tacos

These tacos are great as a stand-alone meal, but if you want a larger dish, you might be unsure what to serve with shrimp tacos. Get creative and let the flavor profile of your tacos guide you. We recommend pairing your tacos with rice and beans, grilled corn, or a hearty summer salad.
