EASY SHRIMP TACOS



Easy Shrimp Tacos image

I love preparing these easy-to-make shrimp tacos. Hatch chiles are a staple ingredient in my home state of Texas, and this was the very first recipe that I conquered with them. Mix and match your favorite toppings-salsa and avocado would be perfect additions. -Deborah Jamison, Austin, Texas

EASY SHRIMP TACOS

This is a light but filling recipe that will be good on a hot summer day. This recipe is best if it is allowed to chill before serving. If you have started with cold ingredients it can be served immediately. You can use Mild or Hot salsa depending on your personal taste. I do not recommend processed salsa from a jar. Splurge on the fresh refrigerated salsa or even make your own.
