Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Lime Sauce

If you are looking for a quick and easy meal bursting with flavor, may I recommend these Grilled Shrimp Tacos with a Spicy Lime Sauce.

This whole recipe takes less than 30 minutes to put together including mixing the sauce and grilling the shrimp. If you don’t have a grill (or don’t want to wait for it to heat up) just put the shrimp under the broiler and cook a few minutes a side.

I am teaming up with other Food Bloggers today for a virtual shout out to those effected by Hurricane Irma. Last week we had Texas recipes for Hurricane Harvey. This week we are featuring Caribbean, Florida and Georgia recipes.

We are encouraging everyone to donate to help these communities rebuild. Personally, I am splitting my contributions to the general funds of major charities (American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, etc.) in addition to a few Hurricane specific collections. Why? Two weeks ago everyone was donating to Hurricane Harvey specific charities. Then Irma hit and money donated specifically for Harvey might not be able to be used for Irma or any other disasters that should happen to arise next week. Just something to keep in mind.

Instructions

1. Put shrimp on skewers, season with salt and pepper. Grill, or broil, a few minutes per side until cooked.
