Summer Baja Shrimp Tacos on a New England February Night

When it looks like this outside, you'd think a warm stew, heavy pasta or a slow braised comforting dish would be just the thing for dinner. It often it is. But after a while, you are sick of being cold. Sick of those heavy winter dishes. Sick of the snow, the wet, the cold, the biting air.
Thursday night I decided to forget it's winter and think SUMMER!
Think warm.
Think fresh.
Think day trip to the coast.
I remembered these I made last year and decided to make something similar for dinner. I made crispy shrimp tacos with a cabbage slaw and that avocado tomatillo sauce I was craving. SO GOOD!!
The green sauce is easy. Just blend:
- roasted tomatillos
- roasted onion
- roasted jalapeno
- cilantro
- garlic
- avocado
- lime juice
- salt & pepper
The slaw had:
- fresh lime juice & zest
- orange juice
- garlic powder
- salt & pepper
- sugar
- red cabbage
- red bell pepper
- cilantro
Nice to have a few minutes and flavors of summer. Now back to reality. More snow on the way the next few days!
