What Is A Good Side For Shrimp Tacos?

And I have guacamole on the side. Last summer, the side dish I made was delicious; it was just corn, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Also, add a salad with a vinaigrette of lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, and olive oil.

I have found that a ½ pound cooked shrimp comes out to about 80 calories (they are quite small, just about the size of a cherry tomato).
How many shrimp tacos would it take to equal 1 cup cooked shrimp?
If I’m making a big batch of the Mexican Shrimp Taco Dip, and I was planning on having two tacos per person, it takes about 10-12 shrimp (or 10-12 small, boiled shrimp) to equal 1 cup of cooked shrimp. If I’m making a half batch of the dip, it only takes 6-8 shrimp to equal 1 cup of shrimp. Making a quarter batch takes 3-4 shrimp to equal 1 cup of shrimp if I’m making a quarter batch.
So… a single one-pound cooked shrimp serves about 12 tacos.
And, if you want to make a lot of Mexican Shrimp Taco Dip, you could make more than one recipe.
