Taco night is always a crowd pleaser in our house, but after gorging on leftover Thanksgiving turkey, I was in the mood for some seafood. Kevin doesn’t like seafood, but lucky for him, tacos are easily customizable.
Shrimp tacos for me and chicken tacos for him. I’ve actually never cooked shrimp at home before, and it was so easy. I bought the shrimp already deveined, so all I needed to do was remove the shell and toss in a pan. I took some of the taco seasoning from the packet and sprinkled it on the shrimp. The rest of the seasoning went to Kevin’s chicken tacos.
The shrimp took minutes to cook. I added some frozen corn and parsley leftover from the Thanksgiving artichoke gratinata, and dinner was done. I really needed a light meal to detox, and this was perfect.
In other fun news, Kevin’s sister got a new puppy! Meet Mimi!
She’s a whopping two pounds and all sorts of adorable.
How do you detox after overindulging?
Mimi is precious! Shrimp are one of the easiest proteins to cook. It’s so easy to just keep a bag frozen in the freezer. You can add them to literally anything!
Awww, that puppy is such a sweet little furball! Mine seems really interested in sniffing through the computer screen right now.
I didn’t realize how easy shrimp tacos would be to make! I need to get on that. I love the little furries on Mimi’s face…tooooo cute!
I detoxed today by eating almost only fruits and veggies. I was on a Thanksgiving leftover kick this weekend and definitely had too much pumpkin cheesecake. I’ve never thought of making shrimp tacos, but those look yummy!
Shrimp tacos sound delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever had shrimp in a taco. Must try it!
Mimi is too adorable!! She is so tiny!
Oh goodness! Mimi is so cute!
I sometimes detox after indulging, but it’s nothing too crazy. Those tacos look good. I’ve never had shrimp tacos, but I bet they’re pretty awesome.
Awwwwwww Mimi is too cute! And getting already deveined shrimp was a good call, doing that yourself is no fun!
OMG, Mimi is ADORABLE! I love her so much. Does she ever get bigger or is she all grown up?
Oh! And are you going to the blogger get together tomorrow night at World of Beer? You need to! Me and Michelle are going.
No I didn’t know about this! I can’t go tonight but do you guys have them often? I would love to attend the next one!!
We try to have them once a month. Sometimes that becomes one every other month. “Like” Central Florida Lady Bloggers on Facebook and you’ll get the invites from there. This was the first meet up they organized on there. We get emails too, so I can let you know!
What kind of dog is Mimi? I’m in the market and She is SO cute!
I think she is a cavaton if I remember correctly.
