Goop Recipe: Baja Style Tacos

I just added avocado to Gwenyth’s recipe and changed up the pico de gallo a little.  Can’t eat tacos without em’!  This is a great 30 min recipe, especially if four hands are available. One person can work on the pico while the other prepares the shrimp.

serves 2

Pico de Gallo

  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 onion minced
  • 1/2 jalepeno minced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1/2 lime
  • s & p

Quarter cherry tomatoes, toss with all the other ingredients.  

Baja Tacos

  • 18 large peeled deveined shrimps
  • 1-2 lime
  • olive oil
  • 6 red chile tortillas (or whatever you prefer, though the chile tortillas are fantastic)
  • pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado cubed
  • s & p

Prepare the shrimps (let it come to room temp), squeeze 1 lime over add a bit of olive oil, and salt.  Heat a pan med-high and sear each side of the shrimps until browned (about 1-2 min each).  If you are fancy you can heat the tortillas individually in another pan, but I’m lazy so I just stick them in the microwave for 10 seconds.  Squeeze lime and salt avocados.  Pile shrimp, pico de gallo, avocado, and a squeeze of lime and enjoy immensely!

Korean short ribs taco:
We get the best trimmings of short ribs we can find, let it swim in our own special marinade, and chop it nice and small so the flavors just dance on your taste buds. Once on the grill, the fat melts away to create that soft and tender texture everyone loves and the sugars just caramelize to give the meat that deep and savory flavor. All out tacos are topped with: 
sesame-chili salsa roja
julienne romaine lettuce and cabbage tossed in Korean chili-soy vinaigrette
cilantro-green onion-lime relish
crushed sesame seeds
sea salt
garnished with lime wedge, orange wedge and red radish wedge
