It may look like there's a whole lot of prep work, but they are fairly simple and easy to do.
The cast of characters, that makes the Shrimp Tacos 😉; Salsa, Shredded Lettuce, Shrimps, Yoghurt Cream, Avocado Mash, slices of lime, Toasted Tortilla.
Let's get to know the casts a little better 😃:
Salsa - Grape tomatoes, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, and mango. (I have replaced the pineapple and peach with mango). Season with salt and lime juice. Omitted the hot sauce as I did not have any. (I thought I did!).
Lettuce - Well, simply sliced or shred them.
Shrimps - Shelled and deveined. Marinate with some olive oil and old bay seasoning or chile powder. I've used smoked paprika instead. Fry the shrimps in a little oil until cooked through, season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice.
Yoghurt Cream - Mixture of Greek yoghurt and mayonnaise, whisk together with minced chipotles in adobo sauce. I did not have any chipotles, so I've used some sriracha sauce instead.. Season with salt and lime juice.
Avocado Mash - Stir together ; lime zest and juice, minced jalapeno, and mashed avocado, season with some salt.
Tortilla - Toast lightly over the stove in a dry skillet.
Lime - Slice some wedges for serving.
Now that we are familiar with the casts, it is time to bring them together for a grand finale !
Here's the...... Shrimp Tacos !

The whole time we were chopping and cut, etc. I had my doubts about all the flavors. However, once we started munching on every thing, there were no leftovers. Quite a surprise, but then again, wen should always trust Dorie's recipes.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so GOOD with those succulent shrimps! I want one too :-))
ReplyDeleteI enjoy revisiting this recipe and presenting them as cast of characters. I'd have preferred mango over peaches and pineapple because of the water content.
