flailing in my kitchen v3

How can I be sad when I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Shrimp Tacos

Yeah, I wasn't kidding with my last post.

Shrimp tacos
I love tacos.

I don't impulse buy very often when I'm at the grocery store, but when I do, it's almost always seafood. And seafood goes on sale at least once a month. So I guess I impulse buy a lot. I got a frozen bag of shrimp the other day, and I had a single tomato in my fridge that needed to be used, so I decided to make Super Simple Shrimp Tacos from Budget Bytes.

Diced tomatoes, diced mangoes, cilantro, and lime crema
My sister is so much better at dicing fruit than I am. Look at those little chunks of mango.

I think the recipe is pretty fantastic on its own, but I had to modify it to fit what I had in the kitchen.

  • I only cut up one tomato...because that's all I had.
  • I used "Asian Chopped Salad" mix instead of an iceberg salad mix. Because I don't know when iceberg lettuce is ever the ideal vegetable to use for anything.
  • I cooked a whole 1.5 lbs of shrimp. There is more than enough marinade for it.
  • And I turned the sour cream into Lime Crema. With cilantro! That's what really takes it over the top.
