Day Old Shrimp Cocktails Into Shrimp Tacos
Shrimp cocktails is such a great snack/appetizer I love to get when hosting, but the problem is the leftovers don't keep well. I would say 3 days after purchase they are beginning to become questionable. Instead of throwing the left over shrimp cocktail in the trash, I like to convert them to shrimp tacos!
I start off by taking all the tails off and sautéing the shrimp over olive oil in a pan. I also squeeze fresh lime or lemon.
When making any type of Mexican inspired dish, I often like to add a table spoon of salsa for flavor.
I also add a dash of chili powder.
Then cook it all together for 5 minutes. The shrimp are already cooked so you really only need to heat it up.
I like my shrimp tacos with salsa and cilantro lime sauce on top and garnish with cilantro! I was feeling tacos with Cinco de Mayo this month!
