Recipe Steps

Recipe Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I gave this recipe 4/5 stars. It was a pretty good recipe that offered me a healthy meal option. The shrimp was a great source of protein but I was not the biggest fan of the sauce that was served with the shrimp. It did not have a nice flavor. The dish was very fresh and the sauce took away from that fresh taste. Although it was a good option for a balanced dinner, the overall flavor could have been better. I would have made a sauce that included cilantro or another fresh herb to complement the shrimp and improve the overall taste. I would have added more fresh topping to my tacos like mango, pico de gallo, and a lime crema. Overall, this was a decent recipe and I would make it again with a few adjustments. This would be a healthy, quick meal for a busy teacher on a week night!
