Shrimp Tacos with Mango Slaw

This mango slaw is so addicting. I had to quickly stop myself from eating all of it out of the bowl before we even stuffed the tacos with it! This is a great weeknight meal that will take all of 30 minutes from start to finish. It is fresh, simple and bursting with flavor from the fresh cilantro and lime juice.  If you are not a shrimp fan, the beauty of this dish is that you can easily substitute the shrimp with fish or chicken and it would still be a fantastic dish.
