Shrimp Taco Salad
Taco salads have become a bit of a staple food over here, as they’re so quick to make. But, they can get boring fast. So, shrimp taco salads were born! These only solve the boring issue for K, as I don’t do shrimp, but he loved them! I’m still looking for ways to spice up taco salads for me, but in the meantime, K has a nice way to spice his up :].
