Intro

When I say Simple I mean simple for this one.  Simple Southwest Shrimp Tacos are wonderful and if you prepare them like this then you will have a fantastic meal.  The only problem is you can only make them on Tuesdays.  I know you may be reading this on a Wednesday and now you have to wait 6 days.  Well it’s ok now you have something great to look forward to and you have time to properly marinade for your shrimp!  I suggest getting a couple of pounds of shrimp and using one of these marinades.  In this instance, I use the Island Firewood Grill.

Once the shrimp is marinade grill them up as shrimp kababs and save a pound of the shrimp for these Tuesday Simple Southwest Shrimp Tacos!  In the end, you get 2 meals.  One before Tuesday with the kababs and then Simple Southwest Shrimp Tacos on Tuesday!

Men you can do this!

Ingredients

  • 1 LB of Marinated Shrimp
  • 1 Bag of Bird’s eye Southwestern Blend
  • 6 6inch Flour Tortillas

Boom Boom Sauce

  • 2 TBS of Ranch Dressing
  • 1 TBS of Honey
  • Sriracha to Taste

Directions

  1. Take a minute and read the intro to this recipe…I’ll wait.
  2. First the Boom Boom Sauce.  Put the Ranch in a small bowl and add in the Honey.  Give it a quick mix and then add the Sriracha to taste.  Start with a little and add until you reach your level of Heat.
  3. Cook the Birds Eye Southwestern Blend as directed.  I usually do it on the stove in a 2-quart pot with a ¼ cup of water for about 9 to 10 minutes.
  4. Then heat you’re previously cooked and marinated shrimp in a pan.  (Did you read the intro?)
  5. Now let’s get building!  You can use either a Hard Shell Taco or a Soft Shell in this example I used a softshell.  Heat both sides of the tortilla in a pan for about 30 seconds a side on medium-high heat.
  6. Place the tortilla down and add the Boom Boom Sauce, Southwest Veggie blend, & then the Shrimp.
  7. Serve on a plate with some added bonuses!  Suggested bonuses are Guac, Salsa, Sour Cream, & a couple of lime wedges!
