Tasty Tuesdays: Shrimp Tacos with Chipotle Sauce

Welcome to Tasty Tuesdays!

.

I'm excited to have my sister here today sharing her shrimp tacos.  I've actually been wanting to make this recipe since she posted it on her blog, A Little Ditty.  Last week was a little hectic at work and getting ready for vacation, so I thought this would be the perfect opprotunity to have her come over and guest post.  Here she is...

I'm excited to be guest posting today!  I hope you guys like this recipe, it's become a favorite of mine and it's so easy to make.

I've been loving Chipotle Peppers lately! I've made everything from pulled pork to pasta salad using chipotle peppers, seems like P Dubs is in a chipotle mood lately too, two of my recipes came from her! I found this awesome recipe for Shrimp Tacos and the real kicker to them is the chipotle and sour cream sauce. It takes the tacos to a whole other level! These are very simple to make, here's the lowdown:

Ingredients

- Frozen Raw Shrimp, amount can be variable, figure 4-5 shrimp per taco

- 2 limes

- Old Bay seasoning, Pepper, Jane's Krazy Salt, Chili Powder

- One small chipotle from can, minced

- 1/2 cup sour cream

- Corn tortillas

- Cabbage shredded or prepackaged coleslaw mix

- Avocado and guacamole seasoning, optional

Preparation

Begin by thawing the shrimp, this can easily be done by soaking in cold water for 5-8 minutes. When the shrimp are defrosted, pat dry and sprinkle the seasoning on them, you can be generous with your seasoning! I like them spicy personally, so I load on the spices.



Set the shrimp aside for a moment so you can put the sauce together. Mix the sour cream, chipotle pepper and juice from half a lime in a bowl. (At this point I whip up the guacamole as well, that is completely optional though, I am just a guacamole freak and eat it with every meal possible!) Now set this aside and heat a skillet for cooking the shrimp.

The shrimp will cook fast (about 3-4 minutes each side or less), when they are almost done sprinkle more fresh lime juice over them.

Now, time to assemble the tacos. I put a little of the special chipotle sauce and guac.
