This recipe for Spicy Shrimp Tacos from Nourish Deliciousness is made with a spicy, smoky shrimp marinade and includes a mango cabbage slaw that adds a little bit of crunch and fruity sweetness to the dish. The spicy avocado and jalapeño crema sauce complements the dish and provides the perfect mix of flavours, bringing it all together in one easy-to-eat corn tortilla wrap. This is a simple recipe with easy-to-find ingredients. We love that it’s quick to make and can be made earlier in the day and refrigerated. And now that warmer temps are heading our way, it’s a great excuse to get outside and throw the shrimp on the barbecue.
