Creamy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos are my new weekly craving. Can you blame me? This Shrimp Taco recipe is second to none and so sneaky easy. The secret? POPCORN SHRIMP! Toss those babies in the ultimate buffalo sauce and call it a day. Divine, I tell you!
When it comes to easy recipes, I want to be your spirit guide. It’s my mission to make finding your way around a kitchen and impression one and all something you not only can do on the regular but also feel GREAT about. I avoided cooking for far too long but now that I’ve realized how simple it can be, I can’t stop won’t stop.
The secret to success with these Buffalo Popcorn Shrimp Tacos is just that…the popcorn shrimp! I have to be totally honest…handling raw shrimp isn’t my favorite thing in this world. That being said…I LOVE cooked shrimp and even more than that…Pat is OBSESSED! When he saw the freezer stocked with SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp he practically walked behind me every step of the way while I made these tacos. He’s a huge fan.
SeaPak makes it easy to own the kitchen, and that makes me love them even more. I love all the possibilites with their popcorn shrimp. You won’t believe how they crisp up in the oven. SO CRUNCHY and delish. We love them on their own, tossed into salads or grilled onto flatbread, but especially in these Creamy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos! I cannot wait for you to try these. You can find out where they’re sold near you HERE.
What’s a good side dish for Shrimp Tacos?
SO MANY THINGS! Give me all the cilantro rice, black beans, tortilla chips, Mexican style slaw, and so much more! Get creative and trust your gut. You’ve got this!
Are Buffalo Shrimp Tacos healthy?
Yes and no. The popcorn shrimp are only 230 calories for 14 shrimp. I only used about 7 per taco. Of course they’re tossed in a buttery and creamy buffalo sauce so…there’s that. But you can make these as decadent or healthy as you choose! All the toppings are light and fresh. Everything in moderation. I love all the colors and flavors.
Do you like ranch or blue cheese with your buffalo shrimp?
GOOD NEWS, I used BOTH! There’s ranch dressing in the creamy buffalo sauce and the tacos are topped with crumbled blue cheese. I like to live with the best of both worlds. No shame in my game!
