Oh summer. You slay me.
It’s my favorite.
Shorts, flip flops, popsicles, swimming, hanging out with friends who we never get to see, staying up late, sleeping in…
Oh wait. I never sleep in. Neither do my kids. Scratch that last one.
But we are somewhat lazy – I mean, as lazy as a Type A family can be. A lot of the rules about bedtime, snacking, and screen time go out the window. Sometimes intentional…and sometimes not!
And even though I have more time to cook, I’m way less motivated to. I rely more on breakfast for dinner, pasta salads, and make-ahead meals. And definitely more frozen items.
I’m so thrilled to have partnered with SeaPak today. Love, love, love all their products. They were a lifesaver when first introducing the kids to seafood, who couldn’t seem to get on board with most cooked fish, but absolutely loved their breaded shrimp.
I always have a couple packages of their popcorn shrimp and jumbo butterfly shrimp on hand for days when I lack time or energy. SeaPak paired with some fresh ingredients are the perfect combo for making a quick, healthy meal. I make cheater po’ boys all the time, but these Popcorn Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce were a great change up and a huge hit with my family.
The fresh coleslaw, cilantro lime sauce, and tortillas are the perfect summer accompaniment. We enjoyed them out on the patio, which is also always a hit with the kids!

Type A family. Heh. ;) Man, these remind me of my other favorite California tacos (fish being the first obviously). And I am all the way down for using these frozen fried ones. Going on my list.
