2 lb shrimp, deveined & tails removed

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh fish fillets. If using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the grill, lightly grease the grates with oil.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat until it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
  • While the fish is cooking, make the creamy cilantro coleslaw. This refreshing slaw is the perfect complement to the grilled fish tacos.
  • To assemble the tacos, place a piece of grilled fish on a warm tortilla. Top with coleslaw, salsa, and guacamole. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled fish tacos are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many variations to choose from, you're sure to find a grilled fish taco recipe that you'll love.
