Sure, chicken, pork, steak, and even veggie tacos all deserve their praises, but trust me, this blackened shrimp taco puts you on a beautiful white sandy beach somewhere outside a gorgeous Mexican luxury beach resort hotel.

I use the Cajun Rub from Spiceology, which covers the blackening. I love that blend, but if you don't have any around, you can sub in your favorite blackening seasoning, and it should be okay. Do you love blackening seasoning? Try this Baked Blackened Salmon recipe from Two Cloves Kitchen too!
