Shrimp Tacos with Coleslaw
Welcome to #SundayFunday! Wendy from A Day In The Life on The Farm invited fellow bloggers to kick back, relax, and share something tasty and fun each weekend. "Sunday should be a Family Funday. Please join us in sharing recipes that will help you to enjoy your Sunday." If you're a blogger interested in joining us, just visit our Facebook group and request to join!
Today our #SundayFunday group is hosted by Karen who invited us to "Make a recipe using tortillas, either flour or corn, or make your own tortillas."
This is such an easy WONDERFUL quick weeknight dinner idea. I adore shrimp tacos, and love the seasoned warm shrimp that are so flavorful and perfectly complimented by that crunchy lightly tangy cabbage slaw. These are pretty much my "perfect" tacos and as always seafood is so quick and easy, which makes it an extra favorite since I'm always in a time crunch for dinner after work most nights.
Serve these up with whatever other toppings you enjoy - a little taco sauce and some fresh tomatoes were a great addition. Queso fresco would have been perfect too!

It doesn't get quicker to the table than this! Great simple recipe, Rebekah, and so delicious!
ReplyDeleteNever though about adding coleslaw to my shrimp taco's but will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a quick and easy dinner. It sounds delicious and cole slaw is a favorite taco addition for me.
ReplyDeleteMy kiddo discovered fish tacos this past year, but she adores shrimp and rarely gets to enjoy them so I know she would love these!
ReplyDeletePerfect for a quick dinner when running out to take L to her dance class. I'm getting some reminders of those days now that our little Milan was born, and Miia has to be taken to gymnastics and skating at night.
ReplyDeleteA different shrimp recipe which I am sure my hubby will love. And like how simple and easy it. Have never thought of coleslaw with taco. Good idea.
