shrimp tacos
wrap these suckers up, and chow down.
if you don't eat anything with a mother, these tacos are still tasty with a more generous helping of all the other ingredients.
- 12-15 large grilled/sautéed shrimp (see below)
- 1 cup of red cabbage slaw (see below)
- 4 corn tortillas
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 mango, sliced
- hand full of pea shoots
- small chunk of queso fresco, or ricotta salata cheese
red cabbage slaw:
whisk together the juice from 1/2 a lime, 2-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon agave nectar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. add:
- 1 cup of shredded red cabbage
- 1/4 red bell pepper, finely sliced
- few tablespoons chopped scallions
- few tablespoons chopped cilantro, or basil
let sit while you prepare the shrimp and other ingredients
grilled/ sauteed shrimp
toss 12-15 large shrimp (shell off) with the juice from 1/2 a lime, a tablespoon of olive oil, a dusting of chili powder, salt and pepper.
sauté in a crazy hot cast iron skillet, or skewer and toss on the grill. it only takes a few minutes on each side to cook
taco assembly
heat up tortillas according to package instructions (we put them in the oven wrapped in foil)
distribute all ingredients evenly on tortillas so they look pretty, and you taste everything in 1 bite
this recipe makes 4 tacos, which is usually for 2 people. i can eat all 4 tacos myself, though. you're call.
