I love to prepare my family food with authentic Mexican flavor, when I arrived in Texas and we wanted some typical dish, we would look for it and it was a completely different flavor, you know Tex Mex.
That’s why I set out to learn how to cook the way we like, with the taste of Mexico, I often called my mom, my grandmother or my aunt to give me the family recipes and now many of them are here on the blog.
what shrimp is best for shrimp tacos
To make these shrimp tacos I use raw deveined medium shrimp, preferably fresh.
You can also use frozen shrimp, just be sure to thaw them a few hours in the refrigerator or under cold running water before using.
The salad that accompanies shrimp tacos, is of my favorite, very simple but very rich, the first time I tried it was at my aunt’s house, mixed with Mexican rice and red sauce, I now use it for many other dishes, including this one.
In case you don’t like the taste of chipotle, I don’t think; you can replace it with La Morena jalapeno peppers, chopped and mixed in the cabbage salad.
what tortillas go with shrimp tacos?
You can use corn or flour tortilla. There are many people who like shrimp tacos with a flour tortilla, especially in the United States. I prefer the corn ones, I think they taste better with these tacos.
I hope you enjoy the recipe for shrimp tacos with chipotle as much as I do.
