Who needs to travel south of the border for some tasty tacos when you can have them at home?  These shrimp tacos are by far my favorite.  They are quick, easy and light and full of all the yummy tex-mex flavors everyone loves.  Delicious spice-marinated shrimp layered on top of fresh guacamole with a crispy cabbage slaw, wrapped in a warm corn tortilla with a sprinkle of cilantro and a squeeze of lime.  Need I say more?  Perfect for a casual and fun summer dinner party or a weeknight family dinner, they are sure to be a crowd favorite.  Enjoy!
