Shrimp Tacos with Mango Slaw and Sweet Chili Lime Sauce

shrimp tacos

Here is a perfect summertime meal, shrimp tacos.  They are light and flavorful, and one of my family’s favorite meals.  The mango slaw is a great addition to these or any fish tacos.  The seasoning blend adds the perfect spice to the shrimp, and the sweet chili lime sauce is delicious with the blackened shrimp.  Every bite is a flavor explosion in your mouth!

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money

  2. These shrimp tacos were off the chain. Probably the best seafood I’ve prepared at home. Made me wish I was at the beach.
