chipotle shrimp tacos
Ingredients
chipotle sauce:
- 2-3 chipotle peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo
- 1/4 cup mayo, Kewpie or any kind
- 1/2 cup silken tofu
- splash of honey, or agave
- salt & pepper
- lime, squeezes of juice
- splash of rice vinegar, if you make yours too spicy by accident
for the tacos:
- 2 to 3 raw shrimp, per taco, or sliced portobello mushrooms for a veggie version
- olive oil
- minced garlic
- salt & pepper
- shredded napa cabbage
- a few thinly sliced radishes
- chopped cilantro
- avocado slices
- a few limes
- tortillas, corn or flour
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the chipotle sauce in a food processor. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more chipotle peppers for more flavor/spice, more mayo to make it richer, or more tofu to mellow it out. Chill until ready to serve.
- Season the raw shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over med-high heat. When the oil is starting to bubble, add shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side. When the shrimp is almost done, add the minced garlic and give the pan a good shake (I find that my garlic burns if I add it earlier). Add a few squeezes of lime and remove shrimp from the pan.
- Assemble tacos with shrimp, raw veggies, spoonfuls of the chipotle sauce, and extra limes.
