Beer Battered Shrimp Tacos

These delicious shrimp tacos are covered in a light and airy batter and fired. We topped them with some crunchy slaw, and then drizzled on a really flavorful cilantro-lime crema. These are so delicious! I love when I can make a filling but lighter dinner. Not that fried shrimp are “light” (read diet), but I mean that don’t make me feel so heavy, and want to go into a netflix coma in my bed. 

During the warmer weather situations I just need light things that won’t make my feel like a sausage bursting out of it’s casing. Hot weather makes me a crabby mean terrible person, and I feel bloated no matter what. So these Beer Battered Shrimp Tacos are good in two ways. Good because they are delicious, and because they are fried which is just always delicious, and also good because they don’t me feel like a whale. Yay! Warm weather feel good food.
