Tequila Citrus Shrimp Tacos

TACOS are one of my absolute favorite foods (it’s a tie with pizza if you must know). I honestly believe that anything can become a taco. And tacos can be for any meal, not just lunch or dinner, but breakfast too or hey, how about a taco snack? YUM! But if you must know, fish tacos are my most favorite, with shrimp tacos following close behind! Hmmm, did someone say Tequila Citrus Shrimp Tacos?

Cooking with Friends

As some of you know, I’m out here in San Diego visiting my dear friend and partner-in-crime, Liz Shaw. Because she puts up with my crazy, I talked her into letting me create this taco recipe at her house. Never once did she roll her eyes. In fact, she was excited! I just love her! So we went shopping and I talked non-stop about how cheap grapefruit and avocados were here.  I’m sure she loved all of my midwestern girl comments! #IwanttoliveinSanDiego

Taco Time!

Did I mention we decided to do a Facebook Live about tacos too? Oh yes, we did. And we chose to feature this little taco recipe. So below you’ll see Liz setting the stage for the big (ok, it was pretty small) event! We had a blast and it was fun making these little shrimp tacos the star.
