This is my mother's recipe for shrimp tacos, a killer take on this Mexican sea side specialty! Whip them up, and be sure to have them with our gluten free 'flour' tortillas.

  • 500 g cocktail shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 teaspoons raw honey

  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1-3 teaspoons pickled chipotle
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • kosher salt (to taste)
