Sheet Pan Shrimp Tacos
The easiest, fastest way to make shrimp tacos! So fresh and flavor-packed, made in less than 30 minutes. Win-win!
SHEET PAN TACOS FOR THE WIN, friends.
With minimal prep and less dishes to clean, dinner is made in a flash. And no need to worry, taste is not compromised at all with ease and quickness here. The shrimp is roasted to juicy perfection with all the right spices before stuffing into tacos with your desired toppings.
Not a cilantro fan? Totally fine. You can omit as needed. Not an avocado fan? Substitute with other fun toppings instead like pico de gallo, sour cream, shredded Mexican blend cheese or even pickled jalapenos.
Just be sure to serve with some cold beers and a side of hot sauce to complete your Taco Tuesdays (or Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays).

Looks delicious! Wish you would post the nutrition facts. We are diabetic and need the nutritional information
This is a very low carb meal. The carbs will depend on what kind of tortillas you use and that should be on the packaging of the tortillas. Other than that, the only carb of any significance is the avocado which is approximately 12 carbs.
I so totally agree, would love to see the nutritional values of each recipe.
I don’t think anyone realizes the labor involved in providing nutritional values to recipes. It’s unreasonable to expect this of every recipe site. If you are diabetic, by now you should be able to eyeball a recipe and know if it’s for you or not.
Ohmigod, were these terrific! Juicy, just the right kind of spicy, and quick on a Saturday night. And they look so beautiful on the table! Made me a dinner hero to my girlfriend!
Thank you for sharing this one!!
So quick and easy to prepare the shrimp! Enjoyed the flavors! Will make this again.
