How to Make a Wicked Shrimp Taco Dip

This recipe kind of combines all of the different components of a make-your-own taco night in one layered Shrimp Taco Dip. I layer in some delicious cooked shrimp with a guacamole layer, a mango salad layer, and a black bean layer. This taco dip is also totally gluten free (assuming you use corn chips for dipping) so it’s great for entertaining a wide variety of guests with dietary constraints.

Also, I have a confession. I’m calling this a dip for the sake of a blog title, but in my house it does double duty as a dip and a salad. When I’m entertaining, I like this shrimp taco dip as a fun sharable first course served with chips and sliced veg, and when I’m hungry on a Tuesday, I eat this as a tortilla-less taco salad. It’s delicious either way and you’re going to agree.

In this recipe, I like using Choice Harvest premium shrimp because they contain no chemicals, additives, or antibiotics and are sustainably farmed and harvested.
