If everyone in our family had to choose a single dish to name as the household favourite, there’s only one meal that we would actually all agree on: tacos! Literally everyone living under our roof is a huge taco fan and would pick tacos over just about any other meal option basically any time. Of course, that doesn’t mean we never like to switch things up and put a unique twist on our favourite dish! We’re always on the lookout for unique and creative taco recipes that will keep our family and friends on their toes even while they enjoy their time-trusted favourite.

We remember the first time we came across the concept of shrimp tacos quite vividly because if there’s one thing that we love almost as much as we love tacos, it’s shrimp!
