'BOTW' Citrus Shrimp Tacos

During the summer we manage to throw at least one big bash of a party.  This summer it's 'Margarita Madness' and it's happening next Friday.  To go along with the five gallons of margaritas I'm making, we've decided on a taco/burrito bar.  Scanning the web for ideas I came across these lucious things.....Citrus Shrip Tacos by Southern Living.

Don't they look GOOD! 

Not sure I can do shrimp for 100 people.....probably more along the lines of shredded chicken, but I couldn't resist featuring these on my 'Best of the Web' for this week.
