Spice Up Your Fiesta With Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos

If you’re craving fresh, zesty tacos for your next fiesta, these Five-Step Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos fit the bill. Use taco seasoning to spice up the shrimp, and top them off with a zesty chipotle lime crema for added kick.

Not a fan of shrimp? This recipe would also be delicious with any kind of whitefish, like cod, trout or walleye. Eating fish is not only healthy and delicious, it’s also getting more sustainable thanks to a company based right here in South Dakota. Brookings-based Prairie AquaTech uses soybeans to create protein-dense pellets to feed farm-raised fish. These soybean pellets are more environmentally-friendly than typical fish food, which is made from anchovies or haddock. Being sustainable means finding ways to have less impact on the land and water, while raising safe and healthy food.
