Grilled Blackened Shrimp Tacos

Drescription

Give juicy shrimp tacos a Cajun flavor spin with spices and a quick sear on a hot grill. An easy avocado mash adds creaminess to cool off the spicy kick.

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 small clove garlic, grated
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons salt-free cajun spice blend
8 corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup prepared pico de gallo

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Add lime juice, garlic and salt and stir to combine.
Pat shrimp dry. Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl. Thread onto four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers. Grill, turning once, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
Serve the shrimp in tortillas, topped with the guacamole, lettuce, cilantro and pico de gallo.

Pressure Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup

Hatch Chiles Rellenos

Hatch chiles stand out for their balanced sweet heat that takes on a subtle smokiness and buttery quality once roasted. Here, recipe developer Paige Grandjean (whose aunt married into the Franzoy family, who first commercialized Hatch chiles in the early 1900s) uses the roasted chiles to make Hatch chiles rellenos, oozing with asadero cheese. Whipped egg whites give the simple batter a delicate structure; it fries up golden brown and airy, encasing the flavorful Hatch chiles. Fold the egg whites into the batter just before frying to keep it nice and fluffy. Try this with Grandjean's quick and easy homemade red chile sauce.
