Let’s talk taco’s! I love tacos, really I could probably eat them daily and not tire of them! Thankfully, there are so many varieties; carnitas, fish, chicken, salmon, steak, and more! These shrimp tacos are so good, and you can whip them up in about 30 minutes for a quick weeknight dinner!

Did I mention this cilantro lime sauce is soooo good! My husband practically drinks it! It’s super versatile too, if you like it spicy add more jalapeno, or keep it out for a mild sauce. It’s also guilt free since I use greek yogurt, you can however, use sour cream if you prefer.
