Too good Taco's (healthy shrimp taco's)


These Too Good Taco's are too good to be true! 


This idea all started a couple days ago while I was making my Briami! That's Greek for oven roasted vegetables. So I took a huge over sized zucchini from my dad's garden. This had to be the equivalent of 4 grocery store zucchini's and cubed them into 1/4in cubes. Plus 2 more zucchini from the store. I then cut 11/2 Lbs of organic carrots in 1/4in pieces. Then cubed 3 extremely large organic sweet potatoes into 1/4in cubes. I diced 3 large yellow onions and a handful of garlic. I mixed all these vegetables together into two large pans and lathered them generously with organic extra Virgin olive oil. I then seasoned them with corse salt, black pepper, McCormick's poultry seasoning, and garlic powder. They were covered and baked on 450 F for approximately and hour. Then uncovered and stirred and back in the oven till extremely tender. You want the vegetables to be tender and a little brown not burnt though. 

Ok ok I know get on with the story...

So I basically had enough Briami to feed a small country. That's what I planned on using the whole week for multiple meals. So here's what you'll need for these Shrimp Taco's

1 Lb deveined raw shrimp
Briana's Briami
1bag organic sweet corn
Favorite shredded taco cheese
Salsa
Guacamole
12oz. Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 lemon
1/4c fresh basil diced
Salt 
Pepper
Garlic powder
McCormick's poultry seasoning
Chili powder
10-15 hard or soft shell taco's

Start by boiling a medium pot of water. While waiting for that to come to a boil mix Greek yogurt with fresh basil and olive oil. Roll your lemon around on you counter to soften it up. Then cut it in half. Squeeze half of into your yogurt mixture. Add the Rhine and the other half into your boiling water. Season your yogurt mixture to your taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning. Set a side in refrigerator. Your water should be boiling now. Add your shrimp to the water for just a couple minutes and stir. They should change from dark blue to light pink. Remove them from the water. On your hot grill add your shrimp while they're grilling season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, poultry seasoning and chili powder. Cook shrimp for another couple minutes until the shrimp are bright red. Set a side. When youre ready to eat heat your taco shells (hard or soft) at 350F for about 10 minutes. Heat your Briami and corn. Gather all your condiments (Briami, sweet corn, taco cheese, salsa, guacamole and yogurt sauce)and let everyone pig out! It's fun to be able to make your own taco at the table.
