Quick and easy spiced shrimp tacos with a zesty, creamy lime sauce and fresh toppings like shredded cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and cotija cheese. Perfect for a fast weeknight meal, ready in under 30 minutes from start to finish.
Substitutions & Additions: Swap shrimp for chicken or tofu. Add sautéed peppers/onions, grilled corn, or roasted sweet potatoes. Use Feta, cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheese instead of Cotija. Add more sriracha or cayenne for heat. Use all mayo for sauce. Add cumin or chili powder to sauce.
Tips for Success: Don't overcook shrimp (2-3 mins/side). Pat shrimp dry for better sear. Always warm tortillas. Prep sauce and shredded cabbage ahead. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Storage: Store cooked shrimp and sauce separately in the fridge for 2-3 days. Store toppings separately. Reheat shrimp gently and warm fresh tortillas before assembling leftovers.
