My oldest has a summer favorite - fish and shrimp tacos. The two proteins can honestly be used interchangeably with this recipe. But, this recipe is a weekly request when menu planning. Citrus marinated seafood with Calicutts Southwest Taco Spice Blend, topped with fresh mango salsa and an avocado lime crema.
