These delicious shrimp tacos are a crowd favorite and easy to make – consider it done in 30 minutes. It is perfect for those who love to entertain but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
Watching the Big Game with friends has its own charm. It is so much fun to have friends over, share a meal and watch the action (or commercials) together. No party would be complete without food but planning a delicious, nutritious meal that all your friends will enjoy can get challenging.
There is a simple solution – make it a Taco night.
Tacos are perfect for small groups or large ones, adults or with kids – that’s because you can customize it very easily to suit individual tastes. While this recipe calls for shrimp, feel free to replace it with chicken or any other meat of your choice. You can also include a vegetarian option by using paneer (cottage cheese cubes) or potatoes instead. This way you are catering to both meat eaters and vegetarians.
As for the kids, if you think a cheese pizza is the only option, think again. Let them join in the fun and make their own taco – a nutritious option as well.
How to make Shrimp Tacos?
Game nights are known for greasy, deep-fried food and that doesn’t bode well for those who have made a resolution to eat healthy during the New years. And the fact is shrimp tacos can be calorie dense especially if you load it with cheese and sour cream.
That’s why we’ll do neither.
We’ll skip the cheese and swap sour cream with Chobani® Savor™ Whole Milk Plain Greek Yogurt Topper – a sour cream alternative made from the same delicious Chobani® Plain Greek Yogurt that we all love.
Is it okay to substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt?
Yes!
Sour cream is made by fermenting cream whereas Greek yogurt is prepared by fermenting milk and then straining it. Just like sour cream, Greek yogurt adds a creamy, tangy taste to our dishes. As an added bonus, Greek yogurt provides probiotics that support digestive health
