Chipotle Shrimp Tacos
Posted: August 9, 2010 Filed under: Mexican 2 CommentsInspired by the amazing chipotle shrimp taco I had at Frontera Fresco, a Rick Bayless restaurant at Old Orchard Mall in Skokie, Illinois, I was determined to re-create my experience in limitless quantities at home. This recipe is incredibly simple after you have purchased your chipotle seasoning of choice. Also one of my new favorite foods.
The quantities of all ingredients used in this recipe are dependent on how much you’d like to make. I marinated baby shrimp with:
Cumin
Chipotle Seasoning Mix
Salt
Pepper
Chili Powder
The shrimp was cooked on the stove until just tender and I added lemon juice to taste. I made an avocado salsa mixture by mixing chopped avocadoes with salt, pepper, and green tomatillo salsa, and used feta cheese and corn tortillas. After warming the tortillas up on the stove with some butter, I immediately sprinkled the cheese, avocado mixture, and warm shrimp on top. If you’re like me, you’ll add additional lemon juice on top of your entire concoction. These would be delicious with rice and beans on the side.

woah woah WOAH. as good as this looks, i have been waiting for the promised “guest writer’s” post for quite a while with baited breath!
also, if i may be so bold, that shopping center in skokie is no longer technically called old orchard as of about five years ago. i’d prefer in future posts for it to be referred to as “westfield shoppingtown,” although you could get away with adding “at old orchard” at the end of it.
true chicagoans can still colloquially call it old orchard though
