SHRIMP TACOS - COOK'S COUNTRY METHODOLOGY



Shrimp Tacos - Cook's Country Methodology image

Cook's Country's method is to brush with oil the corn tortillas then top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and shrimp filling. Then bake in a 450-degree oven until the cheese melts and becomes gooey. Next is to add the garnishes, fold the tortillas in half and serve as tacos to create the best of both worlds.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (26 to 30 per pound)
5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded (2 cups)
shredded iceberg lettuce
diced avocado
chopped fresh cilantro
red onion
salsa
pico de gallo
hot sauce
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, ketchup, lime juice, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl; set aside. Cut shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tomato mixture and cook until liquid is slightly thickened and tomatoes begin to break down, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, stir in shrimp and cook until shrimp are just opaque, about 2 minutes.
  • Brush 2 rimmed baking sheets (line with foil for easier clean-up) with 2 tablespoons oil (1 tablespoon per sheet). Arrange tortillas in single layer on prepared sheets (6 tortillas per sheet). Brush tops of tortillas with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Divide Monterey Jack evenly among tortillas, then top with shrimp mixture. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cheese melts and edges of tortillas just begin to brown and crisp, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Garnish with your choice of suggested toppings: lettuce, avocado, cilantro, pico, salsa, red onion and/or hot sauce, then fold tacos in half. Transfer tacos to platter. Serve, passing lime wedges separately.

Time 16m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 jalapeno, sliced
1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 head purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon butter
16 corn tortillas, warmed according to the package instructions
Pico de gallo
Avocado slices
Sour cream
Grated pepper jack cheese
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • For the slaw: Combine the sliced jalapeno and shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the milk mixture over the cabbage and jalapeno and toss to combine. (Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours if you have the time.) Before serving, toss in the cilantro.
  • For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook, tossing it around, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato or enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Stir in the cumin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter, then remove from the heat.
  • Serve the warm tortillas with the shrimp, slaw, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sour cream and pepper jack cheese, then let everyone build their own tacos. Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges over the top at the end!
