Today I'm sharing these scrumptious shrimp tacos with cilantro sauce. The best part: this dish won't take more than 15 minutes to prepare and serve. I grilled the shrimp (because at home we all love grilled food,) but they can also be cooked in the stove.
The secret to this delicacy is the cilantro sauce that you make in the blink of an by blending all the ingredients in a blender. I hope you like my recipe! Enjoy!
