Taco Tuesday: Garlic Rosemary Citrus Shrimp Tacos

So sad, because I love, love, love shrimp. But, because I don’t share this taste of “fishy” shrimp, I’ve been avoiding them altogether. But, past experience has shown that if there is a sauce of some sort, it tends to be well-received. And he bought some shrimp recently to fish with and then didn’t use it, so I had a nice little bag in the freezer just begging to be cooked! I’ve had this recipe sitting on one of my Pinterest boards for quite some time, so I was excited for the chance to make it. When I first looked at the ingredients I was a little put-off as I don’t usually use bottled marinades or sauces, and then of course my grocery stored didn’t have the exact one that was used. Of course. But they did have one that was similar and I decided to give it a whirl. And it was delicious!

Delicious little shrimp, crispy coleslaw, red bell pepper strips, and creamy avocado all wrapped in a soft tortilla and coated in a sweet-spicy sauce. Yep, that’s one good taco y’all!! Oh, and did I mention you can have it on the table in about 15 minutes?!?!? I’d say that’s a pretty good weeknight dinner, wouldn’t you?

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
