Delish! Love these shrimp tacos and will be making them often. The only changes I made was to double the sauce as I felt the coleslaw needed more of it and i added sliced avocado for the tacos. Served these tacos along with a shrimp cocktail. Delicious dinner tonight. Made for Spring PAC, May, 2014.

What a wonderful dish for our lunch. We totally enjoyed this and didn't change a thing. I love mangos and putting them in just added a little sweetness that DH and I really enjoyed. I used store bought crunchy taco shells and next time I think I will use some tostada shells. Definately a keeper. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2014.

Yum, yum, yum these tacos are wonderful. So much flavor, great textures, wonderful seasonings. This was so good, I've made it three times already. I used both hard and soft tacos, it was excellent both ways. I highly recommend this dish, it truly is a taste experience. Thank you for sharing a recipe that has gone into my Favorites Cookbook for 2013. Kudos to you...Made for Pac Spring Safari.
