Shrimp tacos are something that are incredibly easy to make and with the right toppings deliver a ton of flavors. The rub on these tacos is slightly smoky and it goes perfectly with the fresh pico and garlic lime crema. As with any taco the toppings allow you to customize every taco to your own tastes.
I made this with a strawberry margarita, but would also go well with a fizzy lime margarita, or an Orange Citrus Margarita.
Makes 10 small tacos.
