Shrimp Tacos

Game. 

Changer. 

Gorgeous, delicious fresh ingredients... but I went
into this recipe with no expectation of liking the results. 

I am embarrassingly juvenile selective about seafood. 

I like only certain types prepared in certain ways. 

In fact, I wasn't even sure I was going to try the results, but I knew my
guys would love these and wolf them right down. Mexican food to me 

involves beef and pork, and until this week I’ve had no reason to change. 

The colors, textures and aroma of the prepped ingredients got 

the better of my curiosity - thankfully. The contrast of the fresh peach, 

heat from the peppers, richness of the sauce and texture of the salsa 

came together into one big YUM. 

There was a bit of prep time getting the salsa ingredients chopped and 

the fresh quacamole. Luckily my mom and I prepared this for a family 

dinner (code for we planned for the guys to eat it....). The joint effort 

made light work of the prep, and of course it was great fun !

It was love at first bite and I enjoyed two filling tacos. 

I was lucky to get to that second one as there were NO leftovers.  

But I promised to make more again soon.
