Soft Seafood Tacos with Citrus Salsa Recipe

Soft Seafood Tacos with Citrus Salsa Recipe

  • Salsa
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 fresh jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • Tacos
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 large firm-ripe tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1 pound shelled cooked tiny shrimp
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  1. To make salsa, in a small bowl combine cucumber, chile, pineapple, lime peel, lime juice, and cilantro; mix lightly, then set aside.
  2. For tacos, in a wide nonstick frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until onion begins to brown (about 5 minutes). Add garlic, tomato, and green chiles; continue cooking and stirring until tomato is soft (about 5 more minutes). Remove from heat and mix in shrimp.
  3. Meanwhile, stack tortillas, wrap in foil, and heat in a 350 degree F oven until warm (about 10 minutes). To assemble each taco, spoon about 1/3 cup shrimp filling onto a tortilla; add salsa and other toppings to taste. Fold to enclose and eat out of hand.
