Shrimp Tacos - shrimp

Method

• I bought a pound of 21-25 count fresh shrimp; 21-25 count means that is how many you will get in a pound.
• Peel the shrimp, then wash and devein them.
• Put them in a medium bowl.
• Cut one lime in half and poke with a fork.
• Squeeze the juice into the bowl.
• Add one tablespoon jerk seasoning.
• Take the pepper (you can use a serrano or jalapeno pepperI like the serrano), cut it in half, and take all the seeds and membranes out.
• Chop the pepper finely and add to the bowl.
• Grab a handful of cilantro off the bundle.
• Chop up, add half to the shrimp and save half for garnish later.
• Mix the shrimp into the bowl with the pepper and and set aside to marinate.
• Start the rice.
• For every cup of rice, add twice the amount of water, e.g.
• 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water.
• Set the heat to high, add the rice and water, and cover.
• When the water starts to boil, reduce heat to low and let it sit for 15 minutes.
• Halfway through, add two tablespoons of butter, a little salt, pepper and some of the jerk seasoning you used in the shrimp marinade.
• Open the jar of mango salsa.
• Put some in a little cup and put it on a plate with the rest of the cilantro.
• Cut up some avocado into strips, and slice the remaining lime into wedges.
• In a small sauce pan, heat some canola oil.
• Heat each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side, just to soften.
• Put tortillas on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
• When you are done heating the tortilla shells, heat two tablespoons of butter on medium-high heat.
• When the butter is melted and the pan is screaming hot, add the shrimp and all the marinade.
• Cook for about three minutes.
• Turn over each shrimp when they look just a little brown, and cook for a couple more minutes.
• When the sauce starts to get sticky, mix the shrimp around.
• The shrimp will be a little charred and I love it like this!
• A little crunch is nice.
• Remove from the pan, and add some lime juice.
• Then build your taco: add a little rice, a slice of avocado, some of the mango salsa, the shrimp and garnish with cilantro and squeeze some lime on top.
• Wow.
• Yum!
