 | The theme of this week's swap was a "secret," meaning we were assigned a fellow blogger and we could choose any recipe from their blog. I was given Carrie's Sweet Life, so I thought I should choose a dessert from her extensive collection. I attempted her Vanilla Fudge Marble Cake, but half of the cake stayed in the bundt pan...whoops. Miss F loves shrimp, so I searched for a recipe that had shrimp and would make an easy lunch for the two of us....Shrimp Tacos fit the bill. These tacos are originally from the swap's hostess, A Taste of Home Cooking. The tacos were full of flavor and totally delicious! I added some avocado to the sauce because I cannot have tacos without avocado. |
1pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Juice of half a lime
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 jalapeno, roasted, peeled and seeded
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 cup sour cream
½ avocado
corn tortillas
diced tomatoes
your favorite hot sauce
Combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, garlic and cayenne in a bowl. Marinate shrimp for up to 30 minutes. Broil or grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine jalapeno with ranch dressing, sour cream and avocado in a food processor and blend until smooth. Warm the tortillas while the shrimp are cooking.
To assemble: smear some sauce on a tortilla, then top with shrimp and tomatoes. Drizzle with extra sauce and a few drops of hot sauce

I'm drooling just thinking about these tacos. I love them so much. I'm glad they were a hit with you and Miss F. I'll have to try the sauce with some avocado next time. Great idea!
Love these tacos! Sorry to hear about the cake sticking!
@Carrie The cake sticking was totally operator error, I let it cool in the pan too long. We still ate it anyway, delicious =)
