Direcciones
- At least an hour before cooking, clean your shrimp. Mix all of the marinade ingredients into a bowl or ziplock bag along with the shrimp. Be sure shrimp are thoroughly covered. Place in fridge until ready to cook
- Remove husks from tomatillos and wash thoroughly to remove sticky wax.
- On a grilling rack over the BBQ, or on a baking sheet under your oven's broiler, place whole tomatillos, jalapeno(s), and unpeeled garlic cloves. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, and then flip, cooking 5 minutes on the other side. Charring is fine.
- Deseed and peel the skin off of the jalapeno(s). Peel garlic cloves. Along with tomatillos, onion, lime juice and vinegar, place in food processor and puree. Add salt to taste.
- Skewer shrimp and cook on grill for 2-3 minutes, flipping once one side is cooked. I also used my cast iron, which was still on my grill, to cook up the onions from the marinade.
- Serve as a taco bar, or stack as thus: tortilla, shredded cabbage & radish, avocado slice, shrimp, salsa and cheese/cilantro.
