“Just made this for dinner tonight. Only additions to the recipe were some chargrilled corn in the slaw and some of Nagi’s avocado crema on the side. Also had the pink sauce. I chargrilled the tortillas early, wrapped them up in baking paper and then microwaved” — a cook, 5★
“I have been wanting to make shrimp tacos at home but couldn’t find the right recipe UNTIL NOW! All the flavors came together perfectly. I used a premix green/red cabbage mix with carrots, used Greek yogurt, and I also thinly sliced yellow onion on my mandolin.” — a cook, 5★
