Fried Shrimp Tacos

Who’s ready for warmer weather?! This girl!! And probably, you too. As the temperature starts creeping up day-by-day here in Chicago, I start day-dreaming about the change of seasons, and what it means for my family. I can’t wait to spend the weekends outside, enjoy a chilly glass of wine on a hot day, and catch up with friends and family while dining al fresco.

These tacos represent one of my favorite things to enjoy in the summer–  simple, flavorful meals that come together in minutes. No one wants to spend hours in the kitchen when it’s beautiful outside. This dish takes no time at all, but tastes amazing.

I mean, I could eat a bowl of that pineapple slaw all on its own. You too?

I love to serve this dish in a casual buffet style. Grab a tortilla, and layer it with Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, and add a spoonful of pineapple slaw on top.

• taco trays – stands tacos up, dishwasher safe, easy to store
• glass nesting bowls – versatile for whatever size you need, a lot of bowls but a little storage

frequently asked questions

What goes well with shrimp tacos?

Pineapples, peppers, cilantro, cabbage, and orange marmalade (the ingredients used to make the pineapple slaw) are great accompaniments. You can then serve alongside some chips and guacamole.

Is coconut shrimp healthy?

Shrimp itself is very good for you.  It provides you with vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids.  However, dredging it in batter and frying it doesn’t really do you any good (healthwise). 

What does butterfly shrimp mean?

It means cutting the shrimp, lengthwise, almost in half.  Creating a butterfly, if you will, so it can cook faster and more evenly.

Enjoy some time outside with your family, and let the season inspire you. Less cooking, more flavor!

Cheers!
