En Fuego!

It was a warm mid-April evening and I had a craving- and it wasn't for more cowbell either!

Sometimes you need something simple, fast, and in your face when making a meal...this was the perfect evening for such cookery.

The star of this installment is Tequila-Flamed Shrimp Tacos. These little guys had some serious heat yo! So much so that it set a couple of happy dinner companions' mouths on fire. Hence, the title of this here post. But it wasn't all about the heat. The smokey flavor imparted by the chipotle and tequila was fantastico!

In order to douse the fire, a cool, refreshing guacamole sat proudly atop the mountain of shrimpy goodness. The guac mixture was a delicious blend of texture and flavor containing mashed black beans, scallions, lime juice and pineapple. Oh yeah, this was truly a fiesta to behold!

We threw in some grilled asparagus, bell peppers, and ice cold cerveza to take it to the next level! This is my new favorite spring/summer recipe for the following reasons: relatively cheap to make, healthy, and of course pleasing to the palate.
