John and I tried out a new recipe tonight, Chipotle Shrimp Tacos. (I will post the recipe at the bottom of this post.) It was too good to keep to ourselves, so we invited our friends Matt and Amy to come over for dinner. We ate well and followed dinner with Blue Bell ice cream. It's hard to beat a dinner that ends with Blue Bell!
Even better, it was followed by a hot game of Scrabble. Now that's a game where I can hold my own. We had a few questionable words played, though... enough that I feel the following cartoon is in order:
It was all in good fun, though. Reminds me that we can have a nice evening without Facebook or television. We will definitely have to do this again sometime.
And for those of you who want a GREAT meal... here is the recipe:
Chipotle Shrimp Tacos:
1 12 oz. pkg. bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 lb/ med. cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1 small or 1/2 large onion
12 flour tortillas
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
sour cream (optional)
salt (to taste)
In a large, deep skillet, fry the bacon over med. high heat until cooked. Remove from skillet and drain bacon fat. Add onions to the pan and cook 5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in shrimp and chipotle chiles; cook 4-5 minutes, or until heated through. Return bacon to skillet.
Heat tortillas and fill with shrimp and bacon mixture. Top with sour cream, cilantro, and salt. Serve with lime wedges.
Just add friends. It's a recipe worth saving.
Sounds yummy!
