Tangy Shrimp Tacos

Tangy Shrimp Tacos is a quick and easy shrimp tacos recipe that you will surely love. This baby is nice because it has both rich and spicy. Of course, adding more hot sauce will make it more interesting.

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.
