tangy shrimp tacos recipe

Tangy shrimp tacos is an ideal food for lunch. This can also be considered as a bar food and is best when washed with a glass of your favorite cold drink.

I used flour tortillas in this recipe — corn tortilla should work too. As for the guacamole, I have a good guacamole recipe that you can try. If you are looking for a shortcut for a quick guacamole, try combining 1 avocado with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise. This is not as authentic as it sounds but it should do the trick.

Try this Tangy Shrimp Tacos recipe. Let me know what you think.
