MEZCAL SHRIMP TACOS WITH GUAC CREMA



Mezcal Shrimp Tacos with Guac Crema image

This is not your standard taco night. There is smoke and fire throughout these tacos. Mezcal, fire-roasted tomatoes, pimenton and chipotle in adobo bring the smoky heat to counter a cool crema and juicy shrimp.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 small green chili pepper, Serrano or small jalapeno
1 ripe Haas avocado
1 lime
1/4 small red or white onion
1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
A pinch of salt
1/2 small red or white onion
1 can (14 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
32 medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
6 cloves garlic
EVOO
2 tablespoons butter
1 scant teaspoon cumin seed, measure in your palm
1 teaspoon (1/3 palm full) pimenton or paprika
2 chipotle in adobo, plus a couple spoonfuls sauce
About 1/4 cup mezcal
A drizzle of honey, about a teaspoon
Salt and pepper
1 lime
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 lime, wedged
Cilantro leaves
Sliced pickled jalapenos, mild or hot
Thinly sliced small radishes
Crumbled cotija or queso fresco
Sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • For the crema: Seed and chop green chili. Halve and pit avocado. To a food processor or high power blender, add the juice of 1 lime, chili, scoop in the avocado, onion and crema or sour cream and process into a smooth sauce. Season with salt to taste.
  • For the tacos: Finely chop onion. Place tomatoes in a strainer to drain. Pat shrimp dry. Peel garlic and thinly slice, grate or chop garlic.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or wide, shallow skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Melt butter into oil and when it foams add onion, garlic, cumin, paprika and chipotle in adobo. Swirl and toss a minute. Add tomatoes, cook a minute or 2 more, then add mezcal and a drizzle of honey -- be mindful of a flare up. Swirl a minute more. Add the shrimp to the sauce, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Add juice of lime, remove from heat.
  • Char tortillas in a hot stainless pan over high heat or over open flame on gas burners. Blister the tortillas 20 to 30 seconds and stack in a cloth napkin or towel to keep warm.
  • Serve shrimp in serving bowl with tortillas, crema, lettuce, lime wedges and toppings alongside.
  • To build tacos: Slather or squirt sauce on tortilla, top with lettuce, shrimp -- squirt on more lime juice of you like, cilantro, jalapenos, radishes, cheese and scallions.

MEGA-ZESTY SHRIMP TACOS #RSC



Mega-Zesty Shrimp Tacos #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. When I was stationed in Texas as a military journalist, my team and I were joking about ludacris marketing adjectives...thus, Mega-Zesty was born. It has since been my team name for just about anything from chili cook-offs to kayaking competitions. Mega-Zesty Shrimp Tacos on the plate! Dinner sounds exciting already doesn't it?

Categories     Weeknight

Time 20m

Yield 8 Tacos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 small tortillas or 8 small taco shells
oil, for Frying (Not necessary if baking)
8 large shrimp, Peeled and Deveined Shrimp-raw
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
0.5 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dips Mix
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 cups raw spinach
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded baby carrots
1 lemon, juice of
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, Chopped Fine
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
0.5 (1 ounce) package ranch dip mix

Steps:

  • 1) To make the slaw dressing, simply put all the dressing ingredients into a container with a lid and shake until blended thoroughly.
  • 2) Place the Slaw ingredients into a large bowl, pour dressing over the top, and toss until well covered. Set aside.
  • 3) Prepare the shrimp: I like to use ones that still have the tail on -- because I think they look nice, but it's not necessary. You can just use them "as-is" or you can cut small horizontal lines along the underside of the shrimp to sever the muscles and straighten them out. (I smoosh them out until they look huge!).
  • 4) Combine the milk, flour, and half the Ranch dip packet in a small bowl. Dip the Shrimp into the milk mixture and place them in a baggie with the bread crumbs inside.Shake until well coated.
  • 5) Cook the shrimp. I usually just use a shallow saute pan with a little olive oil in it to cook them until golden brown, but you can also deep fry them or bake them at 400 for 8 minutes. If you're going to bake them, I would spritz them with oil so they get a nice brown color.
  • 6) Assemble. Place the slaw in the tortillas and the crispy shrimp over top, enjoy!
