Love me some shrimp. This is slam dunk delish and super easy. If you’re doing low carb, opt for a lettuce wrap or use a cabbage leaf for your “taco.” The chipotle creme fraiche packs so much flavor, combined with the spicy kick of the shrimp. Did I mention I love me some shrimp?? Almost as much as Bubba!
