Grilled shrimp tacos with avocado crema have a rich history rooted in the coastal regions of Mexico, where fresh seafood and creamy avocados are abundant. This delectable dish has gained popularity in recent years, thanks to renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Aaron Sanchez, who have put their own spin on the classic recipe. The succulent grilled shrimp, paired with the smooth and tangy avocado crema, create a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in coastal towns like Ensenada, where the shrimp is freshly caught and the avocados are perfectly ripe. To make this dish at home, it's crucial to use high-quality, fresh shrimp and perfectly ripe avocados for the crema. Alternatively, some chefs also add a touch of lime juice and cilantro to the avocado crema for an extra burst of flavor.
