Teriyaki Shrimp Wonton Tacos

Teriyaki Shrimp Wonton Tacos

Teriyaki Shrimp Wonton Tacos. Lots of teriyaki sauce on these spicy sweet tacos. Grilled teriyaki shrimp with crispy teriyaki brussels sprouts and green pepper on top of crispy fried wonton wrappers. Finally topped with a limey teriyaki Crema. The more teriyaki sauce the better am I right?! Every bite is super saucy a little sweet, a little spicy, a little limey. So so good for a middle of the week dinner !!

So everyone could use a little wonton, asian-flared taco in their life, you know?! These are super delicious and fun. And you want to know why?! They are super different. It’s not everyday you see a teriyaki shrimp and brussels sprout taco. Mostly because when people think tacos, they think Mexican style. And this is far from it which is why I love this dish so much.

Super saucy, a little tangy, definitely sweet with a little bit of spicy. There’s nothing not to love because every bite of these tacos is bursting with flavor. Crispy fried wonton wrappers layered with teriyaki brussels sprouts AND grilled teriyaki shrimp. Sprinkled with green bell pepper and drizzled with teriyaki Crema?! It’s teriyaki overload, but I cannot complain about an overabundance of teriyaki sauce. Because you guys probably know by now that I am a BIG sauce girl.

Tonight I am at the beach which is unusual for me on a Wednesday !! But I am not going to lie I like the spontaneous change up. I actually came down last night, so it is just me and my brother. And since he has a new found love for teriyaki shrimp, I was inspired to do a recipe with that. And it did not disappoint. And best part about tonight? It’s almost the weekend and not just any weekend…4th of July weekend. I am so excited to be taking some time off from work and enjoying the holiday….but don’t worry I will not forget about Daniela’s Dish and sharing all our amazing eats with you guys !!
