in #food7 years ago

Hello everyone, Thank you for taking a look.

I hope you had a great day! Today Sunday and a safe 4th if you are in USA.

I found some shrimp inside my fridge and since I took some tortillas home from work and some pickled onions. I decided that it was time to make some tacos and try to get some nice pictures.

Too bad the 2nd didn't happen but I did get really good tacos :D and I want to share them with you and how I prepared them.

For this you will need:

1 lb Shrimp deveined and peeled
2 ea peppers (in this case red jalapenos)
1 ea lime (or any other acid)
1 tsp oil to pan fry
1 tsp Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste

I will try to make this like a guide easy and simple for an easy and simple meal. We fry the peppers first to get some flavor our and give it that kick we all like, then we add the garlic and fry for 1 to 2 minutes we don't want to burn it

Next we will add the shrimp and mix pretty good couple times until the shrimp is cook. Remember eating raw seafood can be dangerous but I'm cool with shrimp a little al dente sounds good to me ;P

Salt and pepper to taste, you actually have to add it with style :P hahaha taste even better and makes you enjoy your day a little bit more.

Make sure you aim is good or you will end up with a lot to clean at the end.

This is the point where we add the acid in this case lime to bring up all those other flavors, the spiciness of the pepper and the sweetness of the shrimp meat mmm with the lime and salt taste, DELICIOUS! I just love seafood, It is so flavorful and light but still rich at the same time and has so many benefits for you.

And how not to, look at this shrimp it was so GOOD! oh my god why did you make seafood animal why couldn't it be vegan and make me feel less guilty about devouring it? why!
hahaha anyway lets taco bout business

Back to the taco, remember who came first the taco or the tortilla? well the tortilla of course without it we have no taco.
So lets begin with some good ass tortillas, the housemade blue corn tortillas I can put my hands on are not bad at all so I will use those.

We have to warm them up and a good indicator that your tortilla is warm and ready to use is that you can fold it and it will not break. You can also let it toast a little bit which I do most of the time.
I just love that extra crunch and toasty flavor you get after letting your tortillas crunch for a little bit on the comal

By the way this is a comal. It is not the most clean comal in the world but it also gets the job done.
Basically is a thick iron skillet that will get hot and warm your tortilla. You can also use a pan or a pot hahaha I have, works the same but you know it is not.gfgy 071.jpg

After that we just have to comvine both and BAM

I topped this bad boy with some guacamole I just made.
