I have been trying to eat more fish lately and less beef, pork & chicken. So, I was on the hunt for some seafood recipes and found these shrimp tacos at Loves to Eat. They sounded so good, and they were really good. Adam especially loved them. The flavors were so fresh and it was a neat twist on your typical taco. I think I would’ve liked the shrimp better by themselves than on the taco, but I think it’s just because I’m not huge on fish tacos. The flavor of the shrimp was great, though. I didn’t use the jerk seasoning, but used a little cumin instead. My version is below. We topped them with a little pico de gallo, avacado, black beans, and sour cream.
