Beer Battered Shrimp Tacos with Lime Crema
Ingredients
Lime Crema
- 6 ounces Greek yogurt, I used 0% fat
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, zest the lime before you juice it
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey, optional and to taste
Tacos
- one 16-ounce package SeaPak Beer Battered Shrimp
- 6 to 8 medium soft flour or corn tortillas, slightly charred if desired
- 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage, divided
- 1 medium/large ripe Hass avocado, diced into bite-sized pieces; divided
- 1 cup shredded or finely chopped cheese, divided (I used queso fresco; cotija would be another great choice)
- fresh cilantro finely minced, for garnishing
- optional jalapeno peppers, pico de gallo, or your favorite taco garnishes
- lime wedges, for garnishing
Instructions
- Lime Crema - Add all ingredients to a medium bowl, whisk to combine, taste and check for flavor balance. Add more salt, pepper, etc. if desired. I add and enjoy the slightly sweetened flavor the honey provides but it's optional. Set crema aside.
- Tacos - Cook shrimp according to package directions. While shrimp cook, lightly char the taco shells if desired. I place them directly on my oven burner over medium-high heat, and cook for about 10 seconds per side, flipping with a tongs. Keep a very close eye on them; use your favorite method.
- If desired, remove tails and/or halve the shrimp before adding to the taco shells.
- Top each taco with desired amount of cabbage, avocado, cheese, cilantro, optional ingredients, lime wedges on the side, and evenly drizzle with crema to taste. Tacos are best fresh. Extra crema will keep airtight for up to 5 days.

Thank you :)
Fish tacos are Jon’s favorite! These look yummy and easy since I don’t have to batter and fry the shrimp I love the charred tortillas–I must try that!
The charred aspect adds a little ‘authenticity’ to them in terms of the visual and also adds some smoky flavor. And yes to not having to batter and fry the shrimp on your own!
hey girl- these tacos look so yummy!
Thanks so much!
These shrimp tacos look incredible, Averie!
Thanks Kelly!
