If you’re looking for a taco recipe that’s fresh, bold and super easy, these Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos are exactly what you need. Juicy shrimp are tossed in a smoky chipotle-lime marinade, quickly sautéed until just cooked, then tucked into warm tortillas with a crunchy cabbage slaw and a cool, creamy sauce.
They’re perfect for:
-
A fast weeknight dinner
-
A casual party or game night
-
Summer evenings when you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen
You only need simple ingredients, and most of the flavor comes from two stars: chipotle (smoky heat) and fresh lime (bright, tangy and refreshing).
