Zesty Lemon Garlic Shrimp Tacos Recipe
Tacos are the love language we never knew we needed, darling, and these zesty lemon garlic shrimp tacos prove exactly why.
Except, since we’re vegan queens here, the shrimp gets a glow-up—hello marinated cauliflower bites pretending convincingly to be sea-kissed.
You still get the zing of citrus, the punch of garlic, and the satisfaction of folding messy flavor into tortillas.
Honestly, who needs actual seafood when plants already know how to dress up, taste fabulous, and leave you feeling like Beyoncé?
Prepare for finger-licking bites, vibrant toppings, and endless “OMG these are vegan?” comments you can smugly enjoy.
