Shrimp tacos with hot sauce. When I was invited to participate in Tabasco’s #TaquizaTabasco campaign, I thought of Tabasco’s chipotle sauce, one of my all-time favorites, and the one that turned me on to the power of a smoky jalapeño flavor.
My first thought was empanadas: some stuffed with refried black beans, others with shredded beef, and some with white cheese. I wanted to serve them with guasacaca, mojo, and alioli, with each sauce containing touches of Tabasco: garlic, habanero and, of course, chipotle. Once this thought crossed my mind, I wondered if I wanted to fry empanadas in this hot weather, when I could make some tacos. They’re just as good, and take a lot less work to prepare; my mind was made up.
Taking that train of though, I opted to create tacos stuffed with grilled shrimp, seasoned with Tabasco Garlic Pepper Sauce, and prepared on white corn tortillas, accompanied with a coleslaw seasoned with a citrus dressing, which also includes touches of Tabasco.
