Overall, I thought these tacos were pretty good. The shrimp was cooked well and the avocado salsa verde was a nice touch.

The shrimp tacos were a disappointment. The shrimp was overcooked and the avocado salsa verde was flavorless.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more seasoning to the shrimp.

The shrimp tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but the avocado salsa verde helped to cool them down.

I love the combination of flavors in these tacos. The chipotle shrimp is smoky and spicy, while the avocado salsa verde is cool and creamy.
