Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Pico

These shrimp tacos with avocado pico, or salsa, are super easy to make and are so addicting! I bet you can’t eat just one!

Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Pico

If you are using frozen Shrimp, make sure you thaw them out before making this. I like to thaw mine in a bowl of cold water, switching the water out every 10 minutes until they are thawed. They are usually thawed in 20-30 minutes.

Now I had bought Shrimp with the tails on, because they were on sale. I mean who doesn’t like a good deal right?! Once my Shrimp were thawed, I peeled an deveined them before cooking. I don’t mind doing a little extra work if it saves me $$$.

Once the Shrimp is thawed go ahead and start marinating them. While they are marinating you can start making the salsa!
