TACOOOOOSSS!
But for real.
I’m all about tacos…but these healthy Sriracha Lime Shrimp Tacos, y’all! Oh my goodness.
The BEST Sriracha Lime Shrimp Tacos!
This recipe started out as a random invention that quickly turned into one of my all time faves. Actually, it all started at Trader Joes when we were checking out all of the different type of Sriracha flavored things. They even have an organic Sriracha Ranch Dressing! The possibilities are endless, y’all. Grocery store inspiration at it’s finest. Gimme all the Sriracha.
And then we were like tacos! And we could add shrimp, and red cabbage, and carrots, and, and, and, what else could we add???
So we took our Sriracha home, and began experimenting away! We ended up with these AMAZING Sriracha Lime Shrimp Tacos. Needless to say, we did not have leftovers the next day!

P.S: If you want to make your own Sriracha, here’s a great recipe that I found! But if you just want to buy it, here’s the one that we bought. If you’ve never had this stuff, it’s basically just peppers, vinegar and sugar. Depending on the pepper, you get different levels of spicy. Personally, I can’t handle something that’s overly spicy! I think these tacos have just the right ratio of spicy to cool!
