    Spicy Korean BBQ Shrimp Tacos

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    The inspiration for tonight's dinner was the Kogi Taco Truck in Los Angeles. Apparently they make a killer Korean BBQ beef short rib taco. I improvised and made Korean BBQ shrimp tacos using a bottled Korean BBQ sauce, but next time I'll make my own. I love making sauces but there just wasn't time in the day.

    I am Mary, the blogger behind "Oh That's Good!" I am a former nurse, former hobby farm blogger, former vintage shop owner, and current food blogger. I live with my husband and our little mutt Tucker in a lovely retirement community. I am cooking for two and taking inspiration from old cookbooks, magazines, and memories of watching my mother and grandmother cook. I like reducing my food waste and exorbitant grocery bills! I am busy rewriting my recipes for two servings with the option of adjusting the recipe up to four or six servings with just one click.
