Spicy Grilled Shrimp Tacos Recipe

Now that summer is in town just about every meal I make comes from my grill. I’m not a fan of using my stove during the summer months because honestly, being outside is much preferred when the season is so short in Wisconsin! I never miss a taco Tuesday in my house and so I decided this past week that zesty grilled shrimp tacos were going to be on the menu! I turned up the heat on the shrimp and cooled everything down with coleslaw to create these Spicy Grilled Shrimp Tacos.

In my house, gone are the days of coleslaw being a boring side dish for hot dogs. I love to create different flavors of coleslaw to top sandwiches, burgers and even tacos. Using Litehouse Coleslaw dressing as the base for this taco topping I drizzled in some tart lime juice and freshly chopped cilantro to create a fresh topping for my tacos. Adding fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese really make these tacos the perfect summer meal.

Take a minute to picture yourself on your patio enjoying these tacos with a side of guacamole and a margarita. These tacos are really like summer on a plate and are super easy to make. I suggest marinating the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to saturate each shrimp with the spices. Be sure to not overcook them or you’ll end up with rubbery shrimp! 2-3 minutes on each side is all that you need.
