I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The shrimp was raw and the avocado salsa verde was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

These tacos were a disappointment. The shrimp was overcooked and the avocado salsa verde was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

The shrimp tacos were good, but the avocado salsa verde was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more lime juice or cilantro to give it more flavor.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. The avocado salsa verde was a great way to cool down the heat.
