shrimp tacos
Coastal Mexican fare
Shrimp tacos are tacos filled with cooked shrimp, typically seasoned or battered, served in corn or flour tortillas with toppings like cabbage slaw, cilantro, lime, and a creamy sauce.
A staple of Mexican coastal cuisine and Baja California–style cooking, they've become ubiquitous at taco trucks and casual restaurants: We grabbed shrimp tacos from the food truck by the beach.
