Jalapeno Pickled Onions are perfect on top of shrimp tacos. Spicy, crisp onions make any taco amazing. I used lettuce leaves as my taco shell, and they were perfect for my Cinco De Mayo fiesta. I layered my healthy tacos with sliced avocado, Tequila Shrimp from my cookbook Food For The Family Soul/Call Your Mother In Law, and topped with these flavorful onions.
Don’t forget to make my popular Bean Dip as your fiesta side.
