I've been experimenting with the bounty of shrimp I seem to have accumulated in my freezer lately, and these shrimp tacos are a favorite. You can make it super simple by using the pre-made spicy mayo (I use the one by Kraft) or make your own. Read more The meal is quick to go together, and the flavors work so well together. See less

How to make it
- Prepare the pico de gallo first so that the flavors have at least an hour to blend together. It can be left out at room temperature for several hours.
- Prepare the toppings and place each one in a separate small serving bowl.
- Have a skillet heated and ready to warm the corn tortillas, if you are using corn rather than flour tortillas or hard shells. I find that heating the corn tortillas a minute or two on each side, with a spray of Pam in the skillet or a few drops of oil works great - if using flour or hard shell tortillas, warm as directed.
- While shrimp are frying, begin heating the tortillas for serving – keep them in a warm oven, or a tortilla warmer if you have one.
- Heat butter, olive oil and seasonings in skillet over medium heat; add shrimp.
- Stir-fry until shrimp are done, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove shrimp from pan and serve immediately with the tortillas and toppings for everyone to make their own to their liking.
