Eat fresh
Okay….no more politics on “and baby makes 6!”. I have had my say, just like the rest of the bloggers, and now I am done. I want some change. Yes! we! can! stop! talking! about! the! election!!!!
Let’s move on to something really important……..food.
There is no other way to eat fresh shrimp than with homemade tortillas, fresh lime, avocado, and Cholula sauce.
Save yourself some time, and boil the shrimp with their heads on. Only leave them in the water long enough for them to change (AHHHH! There’s that word again!) color. They will become pink, and it is time to get those babies out.
Oh, and a note about buying shrimp….do not buy pink colored shrimp if it is not already cooked. Raw shrimp will turn pink as it goes bad. The shrimp you buy should have a bluish tint, with some gray. Fresh shrimp will be irridescent and it is really kind of pretty. Really fresh shrimp will still be moving. Not kidding here.
Really, really fresh shrimp will still be swimming, having successfully avoided the shrimpers net.
Peel the shrimp, place several on the warm, soft tortilla, add some avocado, squeeze on some lime and shake a few drops of Cholula on it (Cholula sauce is yummy. It is on the table at our house for every meal). Roll it up and mange!!!
Oh, and don’t forget the Tecate!!
If you have not already bookmarked, head on over to the 3rd Coast. I am really loving the larger image format, so there will be new posts daily.
Oh, man, I love Cholula sauce. I use that stuff like catsup. That picture is making me ravenous. Perhaps I will CHANGE my dinner plans. It’s a dinner I can believe in.
YES! YOU! CAN!!!!
Love it…YES WE CAN (stop talking about the election) lol
You keep making me WANT to like seafood but it’s just not going to happen…sigh. But those homemade tortillas, wow, those look super yummy.
a. Looks delish~
b. I’m confused…is the 3rd Coast your new blog or something?
