Shrimp Tacos

I surprised my husband today for Valentine's Day. Yes, I know, I am a week late. But, I have a good excuse! I was sick! Being pregnant and sick is not a good combo. So, I made up for it tonight by making shrimp tacos for my husband. They turned out really well and he loved them!! Here is what I did-







First I made the Pico de Gallo with chopped tomato, onion and flat leaf parsley.
Then, I made a white sauce, just like they serve at Rubio's. I used 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1/2 cup mayonnaise.
Next, I fried up the shrimp. I made 2 drudges for the shrimp. The dry with flour, corn meal, salt and pepper. The wet with eggs, water and some Tabasco sauce. Drudge the shrimp in the egg mixture, then the flour and fry until golden brown.
Warm some corn tortillas. Put the shrimp in the tortilla, top with the Pico de Gallo, white sauce and shredded cabbage. Serve with lime wedges that can be squeezed on the taco for extra flavor!
Enjoy!

So, I had to give them a try, and... they were very good! I was amazed! So give them a try and let me know what you think! You will be amazed too!

Easy Shredded Beef for Tacos

I have seen this done with chicken for tacos, I thought I would give it a try with beef!

1 beef roast
1 16 oz jar of salsa
1 taco seasoning packet

Spray Crock-Pot with cooking spray. Place roast in Crock-Pot. Blend salsa in blender until smooth. Pour over roast and add taco seasoning packet. Cook in crock pot until done and easy to shred (8 hours on low, 4 on high). If the roast is to dry, add a little chicken broth to moisten. Serve with corn and/or flour tortillas and all you favorite tacos toppings!
