These quick and easy Blackened Shrimp Tacos with creamy cilantro lime ranch & corn/avocado salsa are perfect for a healthy & delicious weeknight meal. Everything comes together in 30 minutes!
This recipe came about when I ran out of blacked salmon from this old old very old recipe that I continue to make regularly. I had extra corn salsa, cilantro lime ranch and the dry spices for the rub so I thoughts I would try this on shrimp. I added fire roasted bell peppers & onions from Trader Joe’s (which I recommend to have handy at all times!) for extra flavor when sautéing the shrimps and it came out sooo good!
