Shrimp Tacos Alice’s Way

In Seattle it is not uncommon to see taco trucks parked along the side of the road or in gas station parking lots.  I’m a sucker for these trucks.  I just love those $1 tacos.  Using the taco trucks as inspiration, I made shrimp tacos tonight filled with sauteed red cabbage and mango pico de gallo wrapped in a warm corn tortilla.  They were delish.  I love the fact that they are so dang easy to put together.  Shrimp, salsa, red cabbage, tortilla, and a wedge of lime.  So bust out some pico del gallo and get your shrimp taco grove on.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. of large shrimp shelled and deveined
2 cups of shredded red cabbage
6″ corn tortillas
mango pico de gallo
lime wedges
1 tb. butter
1 tsp. of cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Clean and devein shrimp. Marinate shrimp in cumin, salt, and garlic powder for 30 minutes.
Saute shrimp in a medium hot pan with butter and cook until shrimp turns orange. Remove the shrimp from pan and cut shrimp in thirds.

    Wow, these look great – and, to think I found them while I was checking out your “Chicken” category. “OK”, I thought, “I’ll bite – we’ll see if Alice’s Way means she adds chicken to her shrimp tacos!”

    Nope. But, they still look good, next time shrimp goes on sale, think I’ll treat Mr. Bunny to some of these!

    Nice blog, by the way – I’ve been surfing various blogs, to identify some kind of niche for my new blog, that isn’t being filled already. Yours is a lovely blog – nice photos, wonderful content.

    Hi Jamie, I was just in San Diego last week. They have awesome tacos down there. And the Mexican food is way more authentic than anything up here.
