Crunchy shrimp fill up these tacos with both the new and the familiar. (And you'll be amazed how easy it is to get that perfectly-textured coating on the shrimp!) These beauts are topped with slaw and a bit of crispy onions, for an all-around crunch-a-riffic experience. Crunch-a-riffic's not a word? Well, it should be.
