These shrimp tacos are absolutely incredible (if I do say so myself). The chipotle crema is packed with flavor and spice, and the tangy slaw adds just the right amount of flavor and texture. These crema and slaw top of perfectly seasoned, plump shrimp. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them nice and juicy! Give this recipe a try and don’t forget to leave a review!
