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).
