These grilled shrimp tacos come together quickly and are perfect for a weeknight dinner or casual entertaining. The key is not to overcook the shrimp and to have all your toppings ready before you start grilling.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade or serve with your favorite hot sauce. To make this recipe ahead, prepare the lime crema and chop all vegetables up to 24 hours in advance, but wait to marinate and cook the shrimp until just before serving.
