SHRIMP TACOS

                      

Shrimp tacos are an easy, last minute supper to make any night of the week.  What’s so great about them is that you can leave them simple or you can add your favorite sauce, salsa or herbs to jazz them up.  This is also a wonderful way for kids to try their hand at  preparing supper because it requires planning and it gives them a voice in choosing their favorite toppings and additions.  Have fun with this one!
