Want to prepare a quick dish for the holidays in no time? The answer is use Shrimp. Tacos are one option that come to mind and there are other unlimited ways to serve them. Today I am giving you some ideas for the upcoming holidays, when you will be hosting family and friends. I will also give you the main ingredient recipes for these dishes, shrimp and Pico de Gallo. You can also choose what dish you want to prepare from the following selections:
1. Shrimp as Hors d’oeuvres: Use them on top of ½ inch cucumber slices or crostini’s, easy finger food.
2. Shrimp as Appetizer: Using a small martini glass, add a couple of tbsps. of store bought (or your own) salsa or Pico de Gallo, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and add a baby fork and napkin on the side.
3. Seafood Tacos as an Entrée: One of my favorites choices, they are light, quick to prepare and super delicious. I am including the recipe.
Now make your selection and start planning for your holidays goodies.
