Shrimp Tacos

Gluten-Free Shrimp Tacos

Taco Tuesday. It’s a thing. Right? For me, any day is a good day for tacos but hey, I’m willing to play along. I took over FeedFeed’s snapchat for Cinco de Mayo and shared this recipe along with a spicy Paloma cocktail. Tacos and tequila. I can’t really think of a better combination. Here is the video if you want to check it out.

This recipe is a must-try. Simple, healthy and absolutely delicious. I had extra slaw at the end so I added some clementines and avocado and served it as a side salad.
