RECIPE: Rapid Crispy Shrimp Tacos
Another fantastic recipe! Quick and easy, which was just what I needed on a day where I was NOT motivated to cook. Fresh ingredients, deliciously spiced, easy as pie (or tacos) and not much mess! I say that because usually I'm a very messy cook! I can't help it - I don't like things to touch so I use a ton of plates, paper towels, etc. etc. But on to the recipe, shall we?Go check out Hello Fresh and see if this is a service that may interest you.

Ingredients:
1/4 oz Cilantro
1 lime
4 oz Shredded Red Cabbage
4 oz Julienned Carrots
2 tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 tbs. White Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp. Blackening Spice
10 oz Shrimp
1 tbsp. Cornstarch
6 Flour Tortillas
4 tbsp. Sour Cream
1 tsp sugar
Steps:
1. Wash and dry all produce. Pick cilantro leaves from stems and discard stems. Halve lime.
2. Toss red cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, 1 tsp blackening spice, juice of half a lime, and 1 tsp sugar in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In another medium bowl, toss shrimp with cornstarch, remaining blackening spice and pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add shrimp and cook until opaque in the center and golden and crusty on the outside, about 2 minutes per side.
5. Warm tortillas - either in a damp paper towel in a microwave for 30 seconds or (as I do) on a pan on the stove - warming on each side for about 30 seconds each.
6. Fill each tortilla with sour cream, slaw, shrimp, cilantro and lime juice.
7. Feed your face!
