Easy to make and great flavor. I was able to make this in a spicy and non-spice version just by changing the mix for the slaw.
This a a combination of two great recipes I used for inspiration. Love the lime and cilantro. Had never baked shrimp before this dish. Was ridiculously easy and clean up was a snap.
I did not have any avocados when I made this the first time. Sliced avocado would give the tacos a great finish. My mom is not a fan of spicy so I added some chipolte sauce – perfect!
