Spicy Shrimp Tacos

Tacos are one of my favorite dinners to make on a day where I don't want to do a whole lot of cooking. After a productive Sunday of running around, these shrimp tacos were my dinner of choice. All i wanted to do for the rest of the evening was relax, and since this dish comes together in just about 15 minutes (after the marinating of course), that was exactly what I did. With their short ingredient list, and quick prep/cook time, these make for the perfect meal. Beware though, they are pretty spicy. I'd go light on the mayo (skip the hot sauce) if you're not a fan of hot foods. Enjoy!
