Dinner is ready quickly, with minimal preparation and fewer dishes to wash. No need to be concerned; this quick and easy method will not compromise the taste. The shrimp are roasted until juicy and seasoned with the perfect spices, then stuffed into tacos and your favorite toppings.
Not a cilantro fan? It’s fine. You can leave it out as you need. Not an avocado fan? You can also use other toppings like sour cream, pico de Gallo, Mexican blend cheese, or pickled jalapenos.
Serve with a cold beer and hot sauce for a complete Taco Tuesday (or Thursday, Wednesday, or Friday).
