167. Do you ever have a craving for something...so much so, you can taste it in your mind? My craving was for shrimp...cocktail sauce and tacos. MMMMmmmm! This recipe was fantastic so I just have to share it with you. It is my rendition of Shrimp Tacos.
There are many recipes out there for Shrimp Tacos and every one is just as different as the persons who make them.
2 lbs shrimp, cleaned, deveined, tales removed
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed, minced

Place the shrimp on grilling skewers or bamboo kabob sticks. Brush oil over the shrimp. Sprinkle the garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper and grilling salt over the shrimp. Then shake the Tabasco over each side of the shrimp. Squeeze the lime over the shrimp.
Place on a hot grill for several minutes on each side.

Most seafoods...should be simply threatened with heat and then celebrated with joy."
