The Secret to Buffalo Shrimp Tacos
I have to be totally honest…handling raw shrimp isn’t my favorite thing in this world. But I LOVE eating shrimp and even more importantly, Pat is OBSESSED with it! When he saw the freezer stocked with SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp, he was so excited. He basically shadowed my every move while I made these shrimp tacos, waiting (impatiently) for me to finish. Needless to say, he’s a huge fan. SeaPak makes it easy to own the kitchen, and that makes me love them even more. I love all the possibilities with their popcorn shrimp. You won’t believe how crispy they get in the oven. SO CRUNCHY and delicious. We love them on their own, tossed into salads, or grilled onto flatbread, but we are especially excited about eating them in this Creamy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos recipe! I cannot wait for you to try these. You can find out where they’re sold near you HERE.
How to Make Shrimp Tacos
This shrimp taco recipe is so simple. There’s almost nothing to it, thanks to the popcorn shrimp. It’s seriously the easiest recipe, and they’re just so good!
What’s a good side dish for tacos?
SO MANY THINGS would be great with these buffalo shrimp tacos! Give me some cilantro rice, black beans, tortilla chips, Mexican style slaw, and so much more! Get creative and trust your gut. You’ve got this!
Are these healthy?
Yes and no. The popcorn shrimp are only 230 calories for 14 shrimp. I only used about 7 per taco. But of course they’re tossed in a buttery and creamy buffalo sauce so…there’s that. But you can make these as decadent or healthy as you choose! All the toppings are light and fresh. Everything in moderation. I love all the colors and flavors!
Do you like ranch or blue cheese with your buffalo shrimp?
GOOD NEWS, I used BOTH! There’s ranch dressing in the creamy buffalo shrimp taco sauce, and the tacos are topped with crumbled blue cheese. I like to live with the best of both worlds. No shame in my game!
