Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Corn Slaw
When I have friends over I love putting together a taco bar. These Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Corn Slaw fit in perfectly.
The shrimp is marinated in a mixture of vinegar, brown sugar, and chipotle for a spicy sweet and sour flavor. On top is a tangy coleslaw with smokey corn.
I also love my Beer Batter Fish Tacos and what Mexican inspired meal would be complete without a great salsa recipe like my The Best and Easiest Salsa.
