Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Cilantro Lime Slaw

I have been wanting to do a

seafood taco for a while now.

I tried just a basic fish one

years ago and we were not

a big fan of them. I am definitely

going to give these a try though!

Yields 4 (2 small tacos each)

Garlic Cilantro Lime Sauce:

1/4c evoo

1/4c water

1/2c chopped green onions

1/2c cilantro leaves

2 cloves garlic

1/2tsp salt

2 limes juiced

1/2c sour cream or

greek yogurt

Shrimp Taco Spice Mix:

2tsp chili powder

2tsp cumin

1/2tsp onion powder

1/2tsp garlic powder

1/4tsp cayenne pepper

1tsp sea salt

For the Shrimp Tacos:

1lb shrimp, tails removed

2-3c shredded green cabbage

8 small tortillas

*Optional:

Avocados, Cotija Cheese

and Lime Wedges for serving

Sauce:

Put all your sauce ingredients

into the blender until mostly smooth.

Slaw:

Toss some of the sauce

(not all) with the cabbage.

You'll use the leftover sauce

to top the tacos.

Shrimp:

Toss the shrimp in a small bowl

with the spice mix to get it coated.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large

skillet over medium high heat.

Add the shrimp to the hot pan

and saute for 5-8 minutes

flipping occasionally. Until shrimp

is cooked through.

Assembly:

For the easiest to eat assembly

go in this order; smashed avocado

slaw and shrimp. Finish with

cotija cheese, lime wedges

and extra sauce.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
