Fat Chick Shrimp Tacos

Smoky shrimp. Cool slaw. A drizzle of creamy citrus sauce. These tacos come together fast and punch way above their prep time. You’ll look like a taco genius—even if you made ‘em in flip-flops with one hand on a cold drink.

📝 Fat Man Tips

  • Add pickled onions, a squeeze of hot sauce, or both if you’re feelin’ bold.
  • Swap mango for pineapple or peaches if that’s what you’ve got—fruit + fire = win.
  • These also make killer sliders if you're outta tortillas. You didn’t hear that from me.
  • Feeling ambitious?
    Toss those shrimp on the grill or flat top for an extra layer of smoky flavor. High heat = big taste. If you're using a grill, slide them onto skewers to keep things under control—nobody wants to lose a shrimp to the grate. Grill over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until they’re pink, opaque, and lightly charred. Quick, easy, and outrageously tasty.
