Easy Shrimp Tacos on a Sheet Pan next to tacos on a plate and a small bowl of avocado cream sauce

I got an easy taco night for you right here. These shrimp tacos only take 15 minutes, and you cook the shrimp on a sheet pan, so clean-up is easy. There is also a bomb avocado lime sauce that you make in a blender. It only takes minutes to put everything together. Really this is just a super simple and really delicious weeknight taco recipe that I think you’ll love.

INGREDIENTS

Shrimp: Don’t make the same mistake I did by getting the “cheaper” bag of shrimp that requires you to be deveined and deshell the shrimp. I know you’re probably thinking, ” it can’t be that hard” or “I don’t want to pay more for something I can do.” Just don’t do it. It is so annoying and makes the prep time for this super quick meal soooo much longer. Trust me, get the deshelled and deveined shrimp, or you will be cursing your cheap butt later.

Pickled Onions: Pickled onions are my all-time, hands down, smack your mama FAVORITE topping for a taco. I love onions in general, but it’s a whole different thing when you pickle an onion. You take out some of the harsh oniony flavors and add a nice acidic touch that goes so beautifully with tacos. The fun pink hue the onions take on is just a bonus. I make my pickled onions the night before taco night. I littler just slice up half a red onion and cover it in white vinegar. After about an hour, it should be okay for taco use. I prefer to make it 24 hours ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge.
