Grilled Spicy Shrimp Tacos Recipe
Grilled spicy shrimp tacos feature incredible shrimp marinade and complementary taco sauce that truly make this dish exceptional and memorable. The marinade infuses the shrimp with complex flavors while grilling adds smoky depth and appealing texture. The specially crafted sauce provides perfect accompaniment that enhances rather than masks the shrimp's natural sweetness, creating tacos that showcase both components beautifully in every bite.
The shrimp marinade for the tacos and the sauce make the dish!

Heat tortillas in a frying pan over medium-high heat, about 30 seconds per side. Keep warm.

Tips
Another way to make the chipotle sauce is with 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 5 teaspoons of minced chipotle peppers in adobe sauce. I couldn’t find chipotles in adobo sauce in our local grocery, so I improvised with what they had and it was great!
