Blackened Shrimp Tacos

I love tacos! Basically anything on a tortilla will make me happy. We had a great sale on shrimp shortly before Christmas so I made sure to pick up several pounds of it. As you know I am all about shopping only sales for most of our groceries. I know the bottom price for most items we use and when sales get that low (or lower) I try to buy a 6-8 week supply which is what the sales cycles usually are. So this shrimp I bought should last until beginning to mid-February if I calculate correctly.

Verdict:

Delicious comfort food. A bit of crunch from the broccoli slaw but you can top these shrimp tacos however you wish. We devoured these tacos in no time flat with a side salad to round out the meal.
