Shrimp Scampi Tacos

The shrimp scampi in these tacos is so delicious, it’s sauteed with just a tough of butter and lemon juice. I turned them into tacos by serving the shrimp in tortillas with a fun Caesar Salad slaw. This is a quick and easy dinner that’s fresh and light. I’m a huge seafood lover so these are a hit in my house!! If you like seafood tacos you will also love these Lobster Tacos, Shrimp Tacos and Scallop Tacos.

Instructions

  • In a small blender or food processor, combine dressing ingredients.  Process until smooth, adding a little water, if necessary, for thinner consistency. Set aside.

Cook 2 minutes, flip, then add another 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook an additional 2 minutes or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.  Remove from heat and add red pepper (if using), lemon juice, and parsley.  Toss to evenly coat.
  • Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package directions. In a medium bowl, toss lettuce with 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing.
  • Divide tortillas and shrimp evenly among 4 plates.  Spoon pan sauce over shrimp, top each with freshly grated parmesan, scallions, and Caesar slaw.  Divide remaining 3 tablespoons of dressing evenly over tacos.
