Y’all. I can’t even stop with these grilled shrimp tacos. They have become our FAVORITE! And the best part is they are simple to throw together and, as always, it’s pretty easy to add or take away ingredients to make everyone happy in your family. For example, I love a generous sprinkle of blue cheese on mine. The kids like shredded cheddar cheese and Benjamin prefers feta.

A Couple of Tips

Don’t just dump all of the shrimp in your pan. I find they end up being sorta soggy that way so I put them in one at a time and then flip them over. I also let mine hang out on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb any extra water on them. Can you tell I don’t like wet shrimp? It gets your tortilla wet and just, yuck. You want to cook your shrimp at the end so that they are nice and warm for your tacos.

I love using a grill pan for this recipe. But you can also just use a pan. We invested in this grill pan several years ago, but this is a cheaper alternative.
