THE BEST SHRIMP TACOS

Who’s looking for a bit of a healthier alternative for Taco Tuesday? I’ve gotta tell you, we're always down for tacos at my house!

I love these Blackened Shrimp Tacos because they’re Whole30 compliant, but they are also a lighter dish loaded with flavour. I'm a big seafood fan, so I prefer these shrimp tacos over beef tacos any day!

After a busy day, there is nothing better than making a simple and tasty dinner the whole family will love. During the week it can be tough to throw a fancy dinner together, but don’t worry, you only need about 15 minutes for this one!

They’re also great for serving a crowd because you can make lots of tacos at once and everyone can pick their own toppings. You don't need a lot of fancy ingredients to make tacos with shrimp. If you’ve never made shrimp tacos before, I think you’ll be surprised at how quickly and easily something so delicious comes together.
