Taco Tuesday: Shrimp & Cabbage Tacos with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

July 31, 2012 by Jaida 1 Comment

Hasta la vista, July. I’ve had a lot of fun this month, but August…well, August is sure to be the best month of the year!
While I am still in shock at how quickly this year is passing, I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye to July than with these amazing tacos! I mean, look at how pretty that shrimp looks covered in it’s yummy sauce!! I love shrimp. Probably a little more than I should. Fried shrimp has always been one of my favorite things to eat, but I rarely fry anything. So, I have to find other ways to enjoy my shrimp, and when I saw these tacos I didn’t waste any time getting them on the menu.
And, as has been the norm lately, these tacos took all of 10 minutes, if that, to make. See, that’s one of the many wonderful things about shrimp…the cook very quickly. And when I mixed up the cilantro yogurt sauce…well, let’s just say that it’s a good thing the shrimp only took a couple of minutes to cook, because I’m not sure I could have waited very long to put that sauce on something!
I posted a picture on facebook, and almost immediately had two friends comment asking for the recipe! I shared it with them, gladly!! And now I’m sharing it with you! And don’t forget to check out the Food Calendar, for what’s on the menu this week!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
