Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Sauce

Cravings are nothing new for a pregnant woman. So today, when I drove past Rubios, I knew shrimp tacos had to be in my near future. I called John up and asked him if he wanted that home made for dinner. His reply was "Hell yeah!"

So it begins...

First I needed to take the tails off the shrimp and give them a good rinse. I then laid out my next ingredients to batter the shrimp. I laid out flower and panko bread crumbs into plates and a few eggs into a bowl. I began battering the shrimp by dipping and coating each shrimp first in flower, then egg, and finally the panko. After done and breaded, I heated the frying oil to 350 degrees and fried the shrimp about 5 to 6 at a time. Once finished, I laid them out to rest.

The avocado cilantro dressing was something I played by ear. I have never made it before and was curious. I watched a few videos but either i was missing and ingredient or it didn't sound good. So I decided to scratch following a recipe and just go with my gut.

I put a cup of sour cream into a blender. One whole avocado, about a table spoon of mayonnaise, a good amount of cilantro, some salt, and the juice of 2 fresh squeezed limes. I blended until smooth and boy was it yummy! The smell alone was making me hungry. The ingredients can be altered if you want to adjust it to tour taste.

I cut some red cabbage up and red radishes for the topping on the tacos. I also made sure I heated my tortillas on a pan to harden them up a bit and give them that nice sear on the outside.

Now comes the fun part besides eating it.

I filled the tortillas up with the ingredients and served. Even my baby girl was loving the shrimp. I'm always so satisfied when I see my family enjoying my food. Makes all the effort totally worth it.

Happy eating friends!
