DIRECTIONS

Shrimp Marinade:
Mix oil, water, taco seasoning packet, 3 of the chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, and the juice from 2 limes and add to a ziplock baggie.
Add shrimp to the bag.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Place shrimp on skewers and bbq at low heat until pink.
Place on fried taco shells with cabbage, onions, tomatoes, and cheese.
Squeeze lime on top for an added flavor.
I like to add a little of tabasco or tapito to the top for added flavor.
