Light and healthy seafood tacos are so
refreshing and fun. Fresh greens and
herbs top the delicately spiced shrimp,
while the white sauce keeps it all cool.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the broiler. Set the broiler rack 3–4 inches from the heat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, yogurt, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, remaining lime juicee, Creole seasoning, garlic, and salt. Add the shrimp to the mixture, tossing gently until well coated.

I added grated pepper jack and diced tomato. Didn't have tostada shells so I just used taco shells in halves.
Served with half an avocado. Fantastic low carb and super filling!
