The easiest recipe for shrimp tacos includes our Lemon and Cracked Pepper seasoned shrimp. The taste is light and bright, and works well with any of your favorite taco fixings.
Because we make shrimp so easy to prepare, it can be the star of the show or a quick addition to a spread of grilled chicken or steak.
What to pair with shrimp tacos
As far as topping go, the light and bright flavor of our perfectly seasoned shrimp works with almost anything: avocado slices, crumbly cheese or fiery hot sauce. We love a creamy cabbage slaw, some pickled vegetables and a squeeze of lime.
Go full summer mode by pairing shrimp tacos with an ear of grilled sweet corn, or serve alongside beans and rice or chips and salsa.
