These delicious Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Mint Creme are perfect for busy weekdays.
Since a long time, I hadn’t posted a recipe for big kids and parents so thought of sharing one today. I love tacos and fish. These Spicy Shrimp Tacos are the perfect combination of these two of my favorite ingredients.
Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Mint Creme add a fiery twist to any lunch or dinner. I have used green chiles to make it fiery hot. You can adjust the level of spiciness in these tacos. I start with marinating shrimps in ginger garlic paste and cajun spices.
Then cook them till they are perfect with little char marks. Follow that with making fajitas and finally make the mint creme.
Once all the preparation is done, I slightly heat the tortillas and stake them with fajitas, followed by spicy juicy shrimp, cabbage and finally the mint creme. Mint creme make these tacos divine. I assemble them and serve immediately with some salsa and chips. How about sipping a margarita with it?
