I tasted some shrimp tacos that were packed with flavor at a Coyo Taco restaurant and asked the co-founder and chef behind the Coyo Taco chain, Scott Linquist, how they are made. He gave me a simple recipe and I’ve adapted it here.

Scott also advised that you could make the tacos and serve them, or you can simply place all the fixings in bowls on the table along with the warm tortillas and let everyone make their own tacos.

I like to buy frozen shrimp to have on hand. It’s easy to remove what you need. They take only a few minutes to defrost in a bowl of cold water.

Helpful Hints

  • You can substitute several drops of hot pepper sauce for jalapeno pepper.
  • Look for finely shredded or thinly sliced coleslaw mix in the produce department.
  • If don’t have access to a blender, chop the cilantro, garlic, cumin and jalapeno together and mix with oil and lime juice.
