Tequila Shrimp Tacos with Bacon and Guacamole
Lovin’ these Tequila Shrimp Tacos!
These are the kind that will keep you begging for more, and are ridiculously easy to make up. I love to pimp mine up with a good bit of freshly made Roasted Chipotle Salsa and fresh Guacamole.
In order to keep things balanced I went and threw on a bit of crispy bacon. So if you felt it was lacking, no no, I’ve got you covered! You can also give a bit more heat by adding in some fresh, sliced jalapenos or sprinkle over some crushed chili flakes.
Now, you’re set, enjoy these Tequila Shrimp Tacos with friends and family!
