One of my favorite fast food places is Taco John's. They recently quit serving their Shrimp Street Tacos which were super! I found this recipe and it claimed to be similar. Let's hope so! (It sounds good anyway!)

How To Make shrimp tacos street tacos

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and chipotle powder with a fork. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and set aside. Rinse and dry shrimp. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the flour mixture until all of the shrimp is thoroughly coated. You might have a bit of flour mixture left over.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the oil. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through and opaque.
Step 3

While your shrimp are cooking, place the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice in the bowl of a mini-food processor. (I use an immersion blender.) Puree until smooth, and fold mixture into the greek yogurt. Season to taste with salt. (Use less of the chipotle/adobo if you don't like it hot!)
Step 4

As soon as your shrimp are done, remove from heat and assemble your tacos, garnishing with shredded cabbage, sliced jalapenos, chopped avocados and as much of the Chipotle-Lime sauce as you’d like.
