Shrimp Or Fish Tacos Food

SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• For the slaw: Combine the sliced jalapeno and shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the milk mixture over the cabbage and jalapeno and toss to combine. (Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours if you have the time.) Before serving, toss in the cilantro.
• For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook, tossing it around, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato or enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Stir in the cumin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter, then remove from the heat.
• Serve the warm tortillas with the shrimp, slaw, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sour cream and pepper jack cheese, then let everyone build their own tacos. Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges over the top at the end!

THE ULTIMATE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare the fish. Cut the pieces of fish into 1-ounce strips. Set up a breading station of flour, lightly beaten eggs with water, and seasoned panko bread crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces of fish in flour, egg then bread crumbs. Once all the fish is breaded deep-fry in small batches in (375 degrees F) oil. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Prepare the pink chile mayonnaise. Put the chipotles in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lemon juice and continue to process until the mixture is consistent and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare the mango-radish salsa. Remove the peel and pith from the limes and cut between the membranes to remove the segments. Put these "supremes" into a bowl and squeeze over the juice from the membranes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Season and refrigerate until ready to use. You can also place all of the ingredients into a food processor and puree for a smoother salsa.
• To serve, set up the tacos "family-style". Assemble the fish in a pile on a plate; the pink chile mayonnaise in a bowl; and mango-radish salsa in another. Set a pile of shredded savoy cabbage, cilantro leaves, chopped chives and lime wedges next to the fish. Toast the corn tortillas lightly over an open flame (on your stove top) and serve.

EASY SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice and 1/8 teaspoon salt; set aside. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic, cumin and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Serve in tortillas with lettuce, yogurt sauce and, if desired, lime wedges.

TILAPIA AND SHRIMP TACOS WITH CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• For the marinade: Pulse the lime juice, olive oil, marjoram, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini-food processor or blender until smooth. Cut each tilapia fillet in half through the seam, separating the thicker half from the thinner. Place the tilapia and shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Toss to coat, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the slaw: Meanwhile, toss the cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften it a bit. Whisk the sour cream, jalapenos and pickling liquid in another large bowl. Toss in the seasoned shredded cabbage and stir to coat. Season with black pepper, cover and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Transfer the tilapia and shrimp to a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• For the taco bar: Wrap the tortillas in foil and set to the side on the heated grill while you grill the tilapia and shrimp.
• Grill the tilapia starting with the thicker pieces, 4 minutes for the thicker fillets, 3 minutes for the thinner ones. Use a spatula to loosen the fish and gently flip. Grill until just cooked through, another 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the shrimp until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Serve with the tortillas, slaw, scallions, radishes and salsa.

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in a medium size dish. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, ancho, jalapeno, and cilantro and pour over the fish. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the marinade place onto a hot grill, flesh side down. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on the first side and then flip for 30 seconds and remove. Let rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork.
• Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for 20 seconds. Divide the fish among the tortillas and garnish with any or all of the garnishes.
• Preheat grill or use side burners of the grill. Heat oil in medium saucepan, add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add tomatoes, serrano and jalapeno and cook until tomatoes are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Puree the mixture with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Add the hot sauce, oregano, cilantro and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
