Mega-Zesty Shrimp Tacos #RSC

"Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. When I was stationed in Texas as a military journalist, my team and I were joking about ludacris marketing adjectives...thus, Mega-Zesty was born. It has since been my team name for just about anything from chili cook-offs to kayaking competitions. Mega-Zesty Shrimp Tacos on the plate! Dinner sounds exciting already doesn't it?"

directions

  • 1) To make the slaw dressing, simply put all the dressing ingredients into a container with a lid and shake until blended thoroughly.
  • 2) Place the Slaw ingredients into a large bowl, pour dressing over the top, and toss until well covered. Set aside.
  • 3) Prepare the shrimp: I like to use ones that still have the tail on -- because I think they look nice, but it's not necessary. You can just use them "as-is" or you can cut small horizontal lines along the underside of the shrimp to sever the muscles and straighten them out. (I smoosh them out until they look huge!).
  • 4) Combine the milk, flour, and half the Ranch dip packet in a small bowl. Dip the Shrimp into the milk mixture and place them in a baggie with the bread crumbs inside.Shake until well coated.
  • 5) Cook the shrimp. I usually just use a shallow saute pan with a little olive oil in it to cook them until golden brown, but you can also deep fry them or bake them at 400 for 8 minutes. If you're going to bake them, I would spritz them with oil so they get a nice brown color.
  • 6) Assemble. Place the slaw in the tortillas and the crispy shrimp over top, enjoy!
