Spicy Shrimp Tacos
You know what day it is, Taco Tuesday! Everyone’s favorite day of the week! I’m not picky when it comes to tacos, as long as they don’t come in a crunchy shell, I’ll eat them all! I normally choose between chicken or beef, but since it’s early on in the week I need a protein that cooks quickly and tastes just as good. My go to is shrimp, you can cook it in 10 minutes and have homemade tacos in just minutes! Spice up your Tuesday and try my Spicy Shrimp Tacos!

For fresh jalapeños, I remove the seeds and the veins which brings the heat factor way down. If spicy isn’t your thing, these are just as good without the jalapeño or salsa. The cabbage not only adds a beautiful pop of color, but gives a nice crunch to the soft taco. Let’s not forget the curry sauce, you’ll feel like a taco master in seconds!
