Dude! This is one of our new favorite recipes! I've honestly never wanted to try shrimp tacos because they just didn't seem to go together, but after giving this recipe a try, we were floored over here at Jalapeno Madness and Chili Pepper Madness. We got some new chili powders and decided to experiment. You'll really want to try this one.
