These shrimp taco cups are going to be a huge hit! Who doesn’t love gooey, cheesy, crunchy bites?!

Shrimp Taco Cups

Crispy, golden shrimp taco cups! Mini flour tortilla cups filled with shrimp, black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes and topped with cheese, spring onion and fresh cilantro!

I love that you can just place these cups onto a plater and here you have the perfect appetizer to serve at a party, family gathering or at a game night.

This recipe is super easy, fun and quick to make. It takes 15-20 minutes from start to serve time.

First step is making the cups, by pressing gently flour tortillas into a standard muffin pan and baking them for almost 5 minutes in the oven at 350F. It will make them crispy and golden! Now, that you have the cups ready, you just add the filling, top with some Mexican cheese blend and bake for another 15 minutes. That’s it! Simple, no tricks and utterly delicious!
