Grilled Shrimp Tacos

These Grilled Shrimp Tacos are smoky, a little spicy, and bursting with fresh flavors! The creamy sriracha lime sauce just takes them over the top. Easy to cook the shrimp indoors too, in case the weather doesn’t want to cooperate!
If there’s one food I’m almost always in the mood for, it’s tacos… okay, and pizza… but today we’re just talking about tacos!
I’m a sucker for all things taco, and you can make them out of so many different types of foods!
Seafood is so fun to eat in the summer, mostly because it just feels light and summery, or at least it does to me.
These shrimp are tossed in a “marinade” of sorts, just some oil (I prefer vegetable or avocado since they have high smoke points and won’t burn as easily), and taco seasoning. I use marinade in quotations because it looks similar to a marinade, but the shrimp doesn’t have to sit in the mixture for any length of time, like with a traditional marinade.
