Shrimp tacos have always been one of my favorite foods. These Shrimp Taco Bites are the perfect appetizer for your summer barbecues and take hardly no time at all to throw together.
I just can’t seem to get enough of these bite size pieces of heaven.
They are perfect for dinner, appetizers, game day snacks, holidays, or just really any time you are feeling like some Shrimp Taco Bites.
My kids even like these. They think they are fun and bite sized, so when I made them for dinner one night, they went crazy for them.
It was a great way to introduce new food that they usually wouldn’t reach for.
What could I substitute the sour cream for?
These are the perfect little bite size appetizers, but the calories can add up with the addition of sour cream.
However, there is a simple fix to this. If you are looking for a lower calorie and fat substitute for sour cream, we highly recommend using plain Greek yogurt.
It has almost the exact same taste and texture of sour cream, but zero fat or sugar, and it is full of protein. You will love it, and I promise your guests will too.
You won’t even be able to taste the difference, once you add all the seasonings, toppings, and shrimp. We highly recommend it.
