  • Fajita Vegetables

How To Make Shrimp Tacos

Keto Taco Shells

Every taco needs to have a shell. And one of the challenges for people following a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle, most taco shells have grains and/or carbs.

So, the options used to be quite limited: make a taco salad or wrap everything in lettuce.

In this recipe, I’m using Crystal Farms Cheese Wraps as a low carb, keto-friendly taco shell, which is available at supermarkets like Kroger.

As I explain in my how to make a cheese taco shell tutorial, I prefer to use these wraps for a few reasons. First, they are one of the first cheese wrap brands to be made of nothing, but cheese. Plus, since they are pre-shaped, you can easily just pop in the oven and bake.

Lastly, in flavors like Marble Jack and Mozzarella, they also tend to be mild enough in taste to go well with a range of proteins.

How to Cook Shrimp for Tacos

There are endless possibilities when it comes to cooking your shrimp for shrimp tacos.

In this recipe, I’m simply searing them in a cast iron pan. This means that I’m cooking them with salt, pepper, and butter in a hot pan until the edges of the shrimp have a nice brown char.

You could also cook your shrimp by breading them as I did in Air Fryer Shrimp. Or, you could boil them for a few minutes in seasoned water similar to the water you might use in a shrimp boil.

Variations: Crispy Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

One of my favorite recipes on the blog is keto bang bang shrimp. It includes golden crispy breaded shrimp and a no sugar added bang bang sauce.

This recipe is perfect as an appetizer, but would also be great as part of a shrimp tacos dish. To make Bang Bang Shrimp tacos, you’d simply prepare the shrimp as indicated in that recipe and then use them as a replacement for the easy seared shrimp that I share below.

Low-Carb Bang Bang Shrimp (Grain-free, No-Added Sugar)

This is a recipe for Bang Bang Shrimp that is grain-free, low carb, keto-friendly and does not use added sugar. I include a quick recipe for the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce, an essential part of Bang Bang Sauce.

What to Serve with Shrimp Tacos

These are great alone, but they would be perfect as part of a keto taco bar. To make a taco bar, you’d simply make enough taco shells for a crowd and pair it with a variety of meats and toppings.

Some meats that work well for a crowd are:

Recommended Equipment

11.5 Inch Frying Pan

Ingredients

Easy Shrimp

  • .75 lb Shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • 1.5 tsp Spicy Fajita Seasoning
  • 1.5 tbsp Butter, or Salted Butter

Keto Cheese Taco Shells

  • 3 Crystal Farms Cheese Wraps, Marble Jack

Optional Toppings

  • 3 tbsp Guacamole
  • 2 tbsp Lettuce
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

Instructions

For the Shrimp

  • Toss the shrimp in the seasoning mix and set aside.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan to medium-high heat
  • Add the ghee or salted butter and allow it to coat the bottom of the pan
  • Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side. I used jumbo shrimp so they took 2 minutes per side. However, if you are using smaller shrimp then it will cook faster. 

For the Cheese Taco Shells

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degree
  • Add 3 Crystal Farms Cheese Wraps to a parchment lined baking sheet
  • Bake the cheese wraps for 4 minutes
  • Allow the cheese wraps to cool for 1 minute
  • Gently lift the cheese wraps from the parchment paper and drape them over a taco stand or the edge of a bowl so that they form a taco shell shape.
  • Flip the cheese wraps over after 1 minute and fill with your preferred toppings.

Recipe Notes

The fajita mixture that I used is low sodium. If you're using another spice mixture, or just salt then you should cut the amount used in half. You can always add more salt if needed after the shrimp are done.
