baja shrimp tacos with sriracha crema

These grilled Baja shrimp tacos are a must try during this summer's grilling season. They are tossed in paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and olive oil. You skewer them and then grill until they get some nice char marks. Take equal parts Mexican crema and Sriracha and mix them together to make the sauce for the tacos. Once your sauce is ready,  throw the white corn tortillas directly onto the grill until charred and hot for the best flavor. Top it all off with fresh, thinly sliced cabbage and onion with a little cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice to help the flavors pop. I’m a believer that tacos are good any time of the day. In the morning I like to create breakfast tacos by adding scrambled eggs to the tacos.
