These shrimp tacos are incredibly easy to prepare and bursting with delightful flavors. To infuse the shrimp with a sweet, savory, and nutty taste, we season them with a blend of paprika, cumin, and garlic. Then, you top them off with a tantalizing sweet and spicy mango salsa, some crisp and fresh cabbage for added texture, and a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt.
