Shrimp Tacos


shrimp, deveined, cleaned and patted dry
1 tsp lemon juice
olive oil
southwestern seasoning
salt and pepper for seasoning
2 garlic cloves, minced
1- 14.5 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1/2 yellow red pepper, finely diced
1 tsp hot sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock/broth
tortillas
avocado for garnish
cilantro for garnish
tomato for garnish
salsa

Season shrimp with salt, pepper, southwestern seasoning and add half of the minced garlic and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss to coat.

While shrimp is marinating. Drizzle sauce pan with olive oil. Sauté onion, bell pepper and the other half of the garlic until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Add black bean, chicken stock and hot sauce. Keep under a low simmer, stirring frequently. Most of the broth will reduce and this is what you would like to happen.

Heat grill. Wrap tortillas in foil. Once grill is heated, grill shrimp until cook completely through. While shrimp is grilling, place tortillas on the grill. Keep flipping so that both sides of the tortillas get warm.

Once shrimp are cooked. Top tortillas with black bean mixture, shrimp and garnish with avocado, cilantro, tomato and salsa. Serve and ENJOY!!!

Wine pairing......Pinot Gris.
