To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the angel hair coleslaw on each tortilla. Top with a few shrimp and any desired additional toppings.
Serve the shrimp tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing fresh lime juice over the tacos.

Try this recipe for a crowd! The shrimp can be seasoned several hours early and they can even be cooked and ready to go before guests arrive. Keep them warm under a lid or in a warm oven while you prepare the rest of the party details.

With a crowd, you can also set out an array of toppings for your tacos, which is why a taco bar is one of the best party displays second only to a good ice cream sundae bar. Next to your shrimp and coleslaw, consider offering toppings like: chopped cilantro, jalapenos, red bell peppers, pico de gallo, grilled corn cut off the cob, cubed avocado, crumbled white cheese, or diced tomatoes. You might also want to set out cooked cilantro-lime rice for those who don’t choose the tortilla route. Decorate with bright lanterns, festive napkins, and maybe even a full-stocked pinata for a joyful get-together with friends.
