    Black Pepper Shrimp

    Servings: 6 servings

    Ingredients:
    •3 lb fresh shrimp, unpeeled
    •8 tablespoon butter
    •3 tablespoon garlic, chopped
    •4 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

    Instructions:
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

    Wash and drain shrimp, and place in a shallow baking pan. In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the garlic, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour butter mixture over shrimp and toss to coat. Pepper shrimp until shrimp are well covered. Bake until pink, approximately 5 minutes, turn, bake a few minutes longer, and pepper again. You must use a heavy hand with the pepper.

    Serve shrimp with warm bread and salad

    If you don't have that much shrimp, just half or 1/3 the recipe

    What else do you put in shrimp tacos? I actually loved the ones I had once, just not sure what else to put in them.

    I love to sauté shrimp in just a bit of oil (any type) and then toss with a sauce made of 2 TBSP. light mayo, 1 TBSP. Thai chili sauce & 1-2 tsp. Sriracha. Served over a bed of chopped lettuce, red cabbage, and any other veggies (kale, onion, snow peas). It makes a super yummy salad!

    ETA: the amount for the sauce I described serves two easily. Forgot to add that detail!

Cut poblanos in half from stem to tip, remove seeds, stem and veins being careful not to split open the sides of the pepper. Place a flour tortilla on a sheet of parchment paper, place a poblano half on top. Fill poblano with 5 shrimp and 1/4 cup of cheese, fold tortilla around poblano and wrap in parchment. Place 2 parchment wrapped tacos on a microwave safe plate. Microwave 45 seconds to 1 minute until cheese has melted and tortilla is soft and warm. Serve.

    You need to use lower case letters for the tag, for some unknown reason.

    What else do you put in shrimp tacos? I actually loved the ones I had once, just not sure what else to put in them.

    There's a restaurant by me that makes shrimp tacos with shredded carrots and red cabbage with a garlic aioli sauce... they are soooo good! I think you really could put anything you want on them; even if you go old school (lettuce tomatoes and cheese) I think theyd be good too.
