Shrimp tacos have always had a way of turning an average Tuesday into a tiny celebration. I love this cilantro lime shrimp taco recipe because it doesn’t demand perfection. It’s quick, it’s simple, and it’s forgiving—even if you accidentally char the shrimp a little. That zesty marinade made with lime juice, garlic, and a big handful of fresh cilantro? It makes the shrimp taste like you put in way more effort than you actually did. There’s also something magical about that contrast of warm, spiced shrimp tucked into a soft tortilla, topped with a cool, crunchy slaw. I’ve made these for dinner guests, for lazy summer lunches, and yes, sometimes just because I wanted an excuse to eat tacos while standing over the kitchen sink. If you’re hunting for quick and easy recipes, especially ones that work for easy lunch recipes or healthy and easy recipes that actually taste good, this one checks every box. You can even toss the shrimp in the air fryer if you're feeling modern and rebellious. Either way, they hit the spot every time.
