Spicy Creole Shrimp Street Tacos

March 22, 2018 by Lovoni | 1 Comment

Although somewhat of a stretch for Creole & probably tacos, the combination works in this Spicy Creole Shrimp Street Tacos recipe.  My concern wasn’t the colliding of two cuisines. My concerns were: make it fast, fresh & reasonably healthy. 

Spicy Creole Shrimp Street Tacos

Although many would disagree, there’s really no hard & fast rules when it comes to cooking, apart from the obvious food science stuff. Flavors loosely stolen from different cuisines to come together to make your own, opens up a world of possibilities. 

Spicy Creole Shrimp Street Tacos

And although I dislike too many rules, my one hard & fast one is to include lots of fresh ingredients in whatever I make. For flavor, nutrients & texture. 

Spicy Creole Shrimp Street Tacos

The tacos start with a simple mixture whipped-up in a couple of minutes by combining mayo, sriracha, honey & lime. This can also double as a dip for veggies or a salad dressing.

The shrimp is simple Creole seasoning, garlic & a drizzle of oil. The seasoning gives robust flavor & a little heat without having to use a ‘War & Peace’ list of spices. This wasn’t the recipe for a lofty ingredient list. The tacos are topped with green onion, cilantro & lime salsa. Baby romaine lettuce for crunch & avocado for its butteriness.

Small, street taco-sized tortillas are perfect for not consuming scads of bread. I’ve tried, I can’t give up my bread but I can cut down. Compromise. I’d rather enjoy a little than none at all.

And just like that, dinner was done. This is a recipe that will remain on our regular meal roster. It’s quick to throw together. It has all the vibrant, fresh elements my husband & I love. And it’s a really bloody good recipe. I’d serve this to friends in a heartbeat. Some beers, maybe a pitcher of margarita & you’re good. And if you love these flavors, make sure you try Bean & Beans Nachos – more time consuming but if you’re looking to add something else to the menu, these nachos would be perfect. Until next time, cheers lovelies,

Finnish Mustard - move over every other mustard I’ve ever loved, this is my new favourite. The recipe is an adaptation of @tessakiros from #fallingcloudberries a cookbook I highly recommend. If a mustard can be decadent then this is it. It’s also so simple to make. 
I purged many of my cookbooks recently. I’m replacing some with cookbooks I want to cook from and will make a point of using. Beth from @oldetymemarketplace along with @downshilohroad & @myrustichouse have started a fun hashtag to encourage us to make & share recipes from our cookbooks #friendswhocookwithabook 
It’d be such fun if you joined along. I know we all have those cookbooks that sit collecting dust. Well time to use them or pitch them. Or treat yourself & buy some new ones. Finding recipes online is convenient but never the same as holding a gorgeous cookbook in your hands. 
If like me you love mustard I urge you to try this mustard recipe. It’s divine.

QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who has to add whipped cream to a recipe that’s having its pic taken - never use canned cream. You know the shit in a can I’m talking about?! That stuff breaks down quickly & is total crap. You need to whip the cream yourself and, you need to stabilize it with some powdered sugar. And don’t over whip the cream. Whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream in a cold bowl until it’s starting to thicken, add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, whip until soft peaks form & then you can make great swirls, dollops or pipe it & it’ll behave & stay looking good to have its pic taken. Perfect swirls & dollops = pretty pics. 

Meanwhile, here’s the recipe for this yummy & really easy to make dessert.

SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who made new year’s resolution to go on a diet? God I’ve been on so many bloody diets. They work of course, as long as one stays on diet of choice. Kudos to those who do. As a mere mortal & coupled with my recipe testing, writing, styling & such I can’t, nor do I want to, eliminate whole food groups from my diet. I fail miserably at it. Then I beat myself up. And the vicious cycle goes around & around. My health - physical & mental & business are my main focuses this year. Diets are kicked to the curb along with negative self-talk. Enough already.  Wholesome foods, moving my body with exercise that makes me happy & I want to do is key. Who else feels the same? 
Here’s the link to this vibrant recipe. I really enjoyed it for dinner last night & last week. Serve it up with some steamed jasmine rice. So good.
