    Shrimp tacos are one of my favorite foods. My family never tires of Mexican food, and these easy grilled shrimp tacos are perfect for sharing.

    We love throwing together a little party food when we're watching the big game, even if it's only us!

    Old El Paso meal kits and Avocados from Mexico make it easy to pull together a festive and delicious meal without working too hard. After all, relaxing on the weekend is important, too!

    And here's a little trivia for you: did you know if you made guacamole from all of the avocados sold for Big Game XLVII parties, you could fill the entire stadium 12 feet high? Holy guacamole!!

    Ingredients

    To make these grilled shrimp tacos, you will need taco shells, taco seasoning mix, blackening seasoning (optional if you like spice), medium shrimp, avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and salsa.

    Note: The shells, seasoning, and salsa all come inside the Old El Paso Taco Kit, or you can buy them separately.

    How to Make Grilled Shrimp Tacos

    Preheat oven to 350º.

    Sprinkle shrimp with seasoning. 

    For added heat, sprinkle with blackening seasoning as well.

    If you have guests who don't like heat, consider making two batches. I like heat, but my younger daughter does not, and the Old El Paso seasoning has just the right amount of spice for her.

    Drizzle a little oil onto cast iron pan and heat on grill rack.

    Add shrimp and cook until just pink and slightly firm.

    While shrimp is grilling, place tacos in the oven for 5 minutes.

    Place bowls of avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, and salsa on the table and let each person build their own taco.

    How easy is that? Grilled Shrimp tacos are a delicious meal any night of the week!

    We keep at least one bag of shrimp in the freezer and always have taco shells and seasoning in the pantry. 

    We almost always have avocados, tomatoes, and cilantro.

    I love to make my own salsa, and this watermelon salsa recipe is one of my favorites! I had it the first time when I was on a girl's getaway with Carnival Cruises and made it as soon as I got home. So good!

    This fresh peach salsa is also really amazing on tacos, fish, or with chips for dipping!

    Grilled Shrimp Tacos

    We make tacos at least a couple of times every month. Shrimp is our favorite filling and what we eat the most, but we also full our shells with ground beef on occasion. Both are delicious!
