With almost 150 5-star reviews, you know it’s a hit. One reader, Aliza, says, “Such a great recipe. This is in regular rotation in our house. My daughter uses the sauce as a sandwich spread now too. My son, who is about to move out, asked for this recipe to be one of his “go-to” options. Highly recommend this recipe.★★★★★” If you like tacos, then you love this easy shrimp taco recipe! Our famous sauce with pickled jalapeño does double duty as a coleslaw dressing turning some humble cabbage into the world’s simplest (and arguably the most delicious) creamy cilantro-lime coleslaw. Warm tortillas piled high with succulent shrimp and topped to your heart’s desire with taco sauce, avocado, cheese, and red onions is pure paradise. This taco sauce will take you all of five minutes (at most!) to whip up in your food processor. Once it’s deliciously smooth and creamy, mix a ¼ cup of it into shredded cabbage to make your slaw, then save the rest of it to pour over your tacos.
Spicy: If you like it hot, add some chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the shrimp spices. Hot sauce is a good way to control the heat if someone at your table doesn’t love spice as much as you do. Sweet: Shrimp taste amazing with a little something sweet. Try serving the tacos with some peach salsa on the side. Saucy: While I LOVE the taco sauce in this recipe, you can definitely switch it up. My fish taco sauce goes really well. Or opt for some chipotle mayo – I like to mix half sour cream and half mayo if I’m using it for tacos.
Can I substitute the cilantro?
Cilantro has a unique flavor to the sauce. If you’re not a fan of it, you can replace it with parsley.
How can I make my shrimp tacos spicier?
To make this recipe spicier, you can add some cayenne pepper when you cook the shrimp. You can also add hot sauce when you’re assembling the tacos.
