Tacos. Yum. Tacos are one of the best food creations to ever have been invented. They are so incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious. My favorite thing about tacos is how versatile they are. You can shake them up based on your mood, the season or any dietary restrictions. The possibilities are endless! I must say, these Cajun Shrimp Tacos are some of my favorite. They take no time to make and shrimp can withstand the bold flavor of Cajun seasoning.
Cajun seasoning is one of my favorites. A good balance between heat and sweet is what really makes this seasoning sing. You can purchase it from a grocery store or make it yourself at home by using my recipe for the best Cajun Seasoning!
Tacos are great because you can throw in anything you have on hand, for mine I just used up ingredients from the fridge! I added some corn, black beans, chipotle creme and spinach. You really can use anything that you have on hand, don't feel like you have to stick to this recipe exactly to make an amazing taco!

Cajun Shrimp Tacos
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Yield: 2 Servings
Ingredients
1 lb Raw Shrimp
2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
6 Corn Tortillas
3 tbsp Chipotle Paste or 1 tbsp Chipolte in Adobo
4 oz Sour Cream
Optional Toppings:
Corn
Black beans
Spinach
Cojita Cheese
Instructions
Cook shrimp on medium high heat in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil. About two minutes each side, stirring until pink and cooked through. When the shrimp are almost done cooking add in butter and Cajun seasoning, stirring to incorporate. The butter creates a great sauce for the shrimp!
While the shrimp is cooking, heat up the corn tortillas. I like to do this on the grill so they get a little char on the outside! You can also use a dry skillet.
Mix the sour cream and chipotle paste to create a chipotle creme and then assemble your taco. Add any optional toppings and enjoy!
