The Time We Cooked and Had To Order Take Out...

The time we learned how spicy Adobo Peppers actually are.

Tonight we wanted to try Garlic Chipotle Shrimp Tacos. It was our first time making shrimp. Becky found a misleading recipe in a magazine. It was described as a subtle smokey flavor. We practically needed a fire hydrant while attempting to eat them

Ingredients:
-1/2 pound of shrimp
-1 can of Chipoltle peppers in Adobo Sauce....WAAYYYYYY TOOOOOO MUCHHH. If you would like to try this we suggest reducing the measurements to 1 tablespoon.
-Diced onion
-1 ripe avocado
-1/2 lime
-Green Leaf Lettuce

We peeled the shrimp, let them soak in the sauce (mistake) and then sauteed the mixture with olive oil and onion for about 2 minutes. We plated them with the lettuce, topped them with avocado slices and a squeeze of lime.


We adapted the recipe by actually only using the adobo sauce because we were too lazy to get the food processor out and it was still way too hot. We also used lettuce tacos wraps instead of actual taco shells. Go Paleo!

It looks really harmless but looks can be deceiving. Those shrimp sure had a kick to them. Our eyes watered, sweat was coming out of our pores. We decided we couldn't finish this meal and it actually wasn't going to be that filling regardless. It was more of an appetizer. OOPS. So we decided to venture out in the rain for a better taco experience.

Unfortunately, no such luck. Becky got pork tacos and Tori got the grilled steak plate. But neither of these were tasty.

On the plus side tonight, we learned just how spicy adobo sauce is and what neighborhood restaurants to avoid. Peace Out!
