Easy Shrimp Tacos with Jalapeno Ranch Sauce

I’ve been wanting to make shrimp tacos for my family, for quite awhile. I love them, but I wasn’t sure how my kids would feel about them.

I only have two that love shrimp, and one that sort of likes shrimp, so I figured it was a hit or miss.

Awhile back I was at a dinner party where we were served these delicious shrimp tacos and while I asked for the recipe, I forgot to get it before I left. So I went on a hunt trying to find them.

Easy Shrimp Tacos with Jalapeno Ranch Sauce

I knew they had some kind of ranch jalapeno sauce on them and I was able to find this awesome recipe.

It tasted pretty much the same as what I remember, maybe better.

After one bite, it was a hit for two of the kids – they loved them. It took the third one a little longer to decide whether  she liked them.

But she did have seconds on a flour tortilla so I’m thinking she just doesn’t like the corn tortillas.

Easy Shrimp Tacos with Jalapeno Ranch Sauce

So all in all, in my world – that’s a total win for shrimp tacos!

These tacos pack some heat, but can be adjusted by using less or more sauce.

  1. Wow, I really love the idea of the sour cream-ranch-jalapeno, I think that would taste awesome! I too have one shrimp eater, one not…well he’s actually allergic to shrimp. But I’m used to making different dinners anyway. Thanks for the inspiration.
