Shrimp Tacos With Lime Slaw

"Grated lime zest and lime juice provide a burst of flavor in this recipe and echo the citrusy palate of the Torrontés. The wine’s acidity balances the assertive flavors of cilantro, jalapeño chili and green onions, while the shrimp and mayonnaise add richness to the dish but won’t overwhelm the wine. You can cook the shrimp on an outdoor grill, as directed below. Alternatively, use a stovetop grill pan, or sauté the shrimp in a little olive oil or canola oil. Williams-Sonoma"

  • In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and lime juice. Add the cabbage, green onions, jalapeño and cilantro and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato. Cover the slaw and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a bowl, stir together the shrimp, oil, lime zest, 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Lightly oil the grill screen.
  • Arrange the shrimp on the grill screen, cover the grill and cook, turning once, until firm and opaque, about 4 minutes. During the last minute of grilling, arrange the tortillas on the grill and cook, turning once, until heated through.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl and the tortillas to a napkin-lined basket. Let diners assemble their own tacos with the shrimp, tortillas and slaw.

We have the cutest little grand children. He's a real charmer and a handful! And she's an absolute prescious little princess. No wonder grandparents love them so! I have a great husband who likes to help me cook and clean. <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" />&nbsp; We love to garden and have a huge herb and vegetable garden every year. Wondering what to do with all the eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini is what led me to Zaar. &nbsp;My husband and I have a wonderful time cooking together, whether in the kitchen or on our deck. We love to eat and try new food. We just cook and eat it all! <img title="Kiss" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" />&nbsp; I love any holiday when my family can come home to visit. For the holidays, we always cook the traditional fare, but add new twists by adding a few new recipes into the menus. It's always interesting to see what they think! I also love cooking for our office parties. You always know it's a hit when they ask for the recipe.&nbsp; <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" /></em></strong></span></p>
