Fresh Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Rice

Easy Cooking, Great Results

These shrimp tacos are perfect for your next casual, fun summer fiesta! They come together in about 20 min, leaving you just enough time to sip a margarita and as you cook!

For this recipe I wanted to keep things citrusy and bright, so I started by a simple pineapple salsa, added my go-to cilantro lime rice, and finished with delicious spicy shrimp. I recommend laying your ingredients out on a table in bright bowls and plates and letting your guests assemble their own. Everyone loves a good DIY taco bar! This is such a great light, summery meal. I’ll be making it again very soon!
