California Style Shrimp Potato Tacos With Cilantro Crema Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare the tortillas, wrap loosely in a damp kitchen towel and place in a preheated 250 degree oven.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large (12-inch), non-stick skillet. When the oil is hot, add the entire package of Simply Potatoes Diced Potato with Onion; spread out evenly. Cover and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the potatoes are browning evenly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, combine the sour cream, about ½ of the taco seasoning, 2 tablespoons lime juice, half of the chopped cilantro and the salt in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth and set aside.
• Toss the remaining taco seasoning and ground cumin with the shrimp. After the potatoes have been cooking for 10 minutes and are nice and brown, add the seasoned shrimp, green onions and the remaining chopped cilantro and stir gently. Continue cooking the potato-shrimp mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, or until the shrimp is cooked through.
• Assemble the tacos by topping each warm tortilla with some of the shrimp and potato mixture, a pinch of the spinach, some tomato and avocado, a few crumbles of goat cheese and a drizzle of the cilantro crema. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Rinse defrosted shrimp under cold water, drain, and pat dry.
• Combine shrimp, chili powder, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coriander, and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well.
• Heat olive oil in nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
• While shrimp cooks, prepare crema by whisking together sour cream, zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cilantro, garlic powder, and 1 pinch each of salt and black pepper.
• Heat corn tortillas in either a pan or on a griddle over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to let them burn. Set aside.
• Assemble tacos by spreading 1 teaspoon crema across each tortilla, adding 3 or 4 shrimp, 2 slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Serve with sliced limes to squeeze on top and extra crema on the side.

Steps:

• Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
• Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
• Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
• To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp, about 1/3 of the cilantro, seasoned salt, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook until mixture is heated through and shrimp is opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add 1 corn tortilla at a time and cook until warm and slightly crispy, about 90 seconds each.
• Spoon shrimp mixture onto tortillas and serve with remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Cut each shrimp into two or three pieces, Spritz a little lime over the shrimp to moisten- don't overdo it - and refrigerate.
• Make the batter: Combine the flour and seasonings in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a whisk. Add the beer all at once, whishk until smooth, and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Pour the oil into a deep, wide pan to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 365 degrees.
• Check the batter; it should be a thick coating consistency. If it seems too thick, add beer, water, or milk, 1 teaspoons at a time, until the right consistency is achieved. It's better to be slightly too thick than too thin!
• Pat the shrimp dry and add to the batter. Fish out a ew pieces at a time and fry until golden brown. Drain the shrimp on paper towels.
• To prepare hold a tortilla in your hand and add a spoonful of avocado sauce (directions for sauce are in the following step). Add the shrimp, a squeeze of secret sauce (recipe follows), and a healthy shot of hot salsa. Top with lettuce, pico de gallo, and onion and cilantro. Squeeze lime over the whole thing.
• Avocado Sauce: Place the avocado, salt, and lime juice ina blender or small food processor. Add 1 tablespoon water and pulse. Add more liquid as necessary to make a sauce the consistency of thick cream. Add the cilantro and pulse again just to blend. Taste for seasoning; it should be a little bland.
• Mayonesa Secret Sauce: Place the mayonnaise in a bowl and use a fork to slowly stir in vinegar to taste. Add water to loosen to the consistency of thick cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, season shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
• Using 2 bamboo or metal skewers, poke through the top and bottom of the shrimp and push down to the bottom of the skewer.
• Add 3 more shrimp to the same skewer and repeat until all of the shrimp are used.
• Right before you put the shrimp on the grill, brush each skewer with a generous amount of olive oil, to prevent sticking.
• Grill over high heat for 3 minutes, brush the top side with more olive oil, flip, and let cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Remove from skewers & set aside for taco assembly.
• In a bowl, combine all creamy cilantro sauce ingredients. Stir well to combine.
• In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, red cabbage, and minced jalapeño. Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the cabbage, saving the other half for extra sauce to put on the tacos.
• Assemble the tacos on corn tortillas. Add the cabbage mixture, followed by the shrimp. Top with the creamy cilantro sauce, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
• Enjoy!
