Tacos are life

We're not strangers to tacos made with seafood, right? These Salmon BLT Tacos are still a favorite in my house. I think you'd love them, too.

I think that seafood in tacos (except for maybe fried/grilled fish) can be a little unexpected. But in my opinion, this kind of unexpected can be a really good thing.

If you're looking for a more traditional taco filling, check out my Three Ingredient Slow Cooker Taco Chicken and Pressure Cooker Carnitas!

These tacos are perfect for summertime

The combination of savory taco seasoning on sweet shrimp and sweet/tangy/spicy salsa is pretty perfectly complementary. I'm was getting ready to say that it's a great meal for summertime, but really, it's a great meal for any season.

    Taco night is a weekly occurrence in this house (and to be honest, frequently more than once a week). Seafood tacos are so good! Love the fruity salsa with it in this recipe!
