Making Shrimp Tacos tonight - what toppings do I need?

Red onion, cilantro, lime, fresh jalapeños.

That's all I use.

What exactly are you thinking here? Sounds funky with shrimp.

I would do some kind of corn puree as a sauce instead. That along with the pico would be a solid play.

Here's a recipe I've done before to go with pan-fried fish.

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh corn kernels
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tblsp sour cream
1/2 tsp cayenne

Heat butter over medium-high heat, then add the corn, lemon juice, salt and pepper, to taste, and the sugar, Stir together and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and allow it to come to a hard boil. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add the corn mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a medium-sized bowl and stir in the sour cream. (I like the consistency a little on the chunky side. Be meticulous with the blender and get it to your liking.)

Mango

The list of foods I just cannot stand is very, very short, but mango is on it. I have never cared for it.

I make these all the time. I make a slaw with cabbage, red onion, red or yellow bell pepper, jalapeño or other hit pepper, cilantro, little olive oil, littl sesame oil, little rice wine vinegar, line juice.

Also add some lime and cilantro to some sour cream.

I make a coleslaw with a lime coconut dressing.

below is the recipe i use for fish tacos. i tried it with shrimp last week and it worked really well. if you have a mandolin, this recipe gives it a great workout. the first time you do it, you need a little time figure out how all the pieces fit together, but i routinely do this on weeknights now.

i do make the following changes:
-for the marinade for the fish/shrimp, i add some chipotle chili powder
- instead of the mayo/milk/lime juice mixture, i use greek yogurt/lime juice/chili powder/cumin. it's nice.
- agree about corn tortillas

fish tacos

I will make you a mango chutney that will tell your buds and brain cells, "I need a F'ing pig".

If you want to do this, I would suggest some greek yogurt (Fage 2%) mixed with Siracha thai chili sauce.

Any sauce made from chipotle peppers in adobo.
