DR. BACON MAZATLAN STYLE SHRIMP AND BACON TACOS
Years ago in Mazatlan, I stumbled across a low key seafood restaurant in the Golden Zone and ordered a unbelievably delicious dish with a mix of large pacific shrimp, bacon, bell peppers and onion. The recipe has evolved over time yet remains a favorite for tacos, burritos, and tostadas. It's exceptionally great for sharing with friends and family. Margaritas, Micheladas and Mexican beer are optional.
