These Easy Shrimp Tacos Are The Answer to "What's For Dinner"

"These easy shrimp tacos have so much flavor in under 30 minutes, they've become my reliable answer to the age old "what's for dinner" question. Imagine plump sauteed shrimp seasoned with cumin and Old Bay, nestled in a tortilla with creamy cilantro lime sauce that coats everything in herbaceous goodness. Add chips, salsa, and a margarita and I can't think of much better."

"The prep time is actually fast. The sauce is quick, you don't have to make a full slaw, and the shrimp cook in just 2 to 4 minutes in a large skillet. The flavor is incredible. The juicy seasoned shrimp, crunchy cabbage, and zingy cilantro sauce are so satisfying. The recipe is versatile. You can cook the shrimp on the stovetop like I do here, or fire up the grill for grilled shrimp tacos."

"For the shrimp: I like to use medium shrimp (41 to 60 ct) for tacos, either fresh or frozen shrimp. Make sure they're deveined and peeled. When buying shrimp, I look for wild-caught, sustainable options if I can find them (see my guide for how to buy sustainable fish and seafood). About 90% of seafood in the US is imported, but seeking out American wild-caught shrimp helps support better fishing practices."

Shrimp tacos feature plump, seasoned shrimp cooked quickly and paired with crisp cabbage and a creamy cilantro-lime sauce for bright, balanced flavor. The recipe takes under 30 minutes from start to finish, with shrimp cooking in 2 to 4 minutes and a simple sauce that requires minimal prep. The dish adapts to stovetop or grill cooking and works with corn or flour tortillas and a variety of toppings. Medium shrimp (41–60 count), deveined and peeled, are recommended, and choosing wild-caught or American shrimp supports more sustainable fishing practices. Serve with chips, salsa, and a margarita for a complete meal.
