[How to make Shrimp Tacos]
>> Hilah: Ok, so I thought I was going to be real clever and show ya’ll how to shell
shrimp with a pair of scissors, but I accidentally got these easy peel ones that have already
been like slit up the back, and actually even deveined, so all you have to do is pull off
the, pull off all the junk and give that little tail, kind of like, pinch It, poikkkkk, and
it pulls out like that. If they hadn’t been already slit up the back, you just take a
pair of scissors, I like these because I can just throw them in the dishwasher, and then
just kind of like cut up the back through the shell, tttt, ttt, tth tshh, and then you
end up with this and then you can pull out that black, um, vein or whatever, it’s not
really a vein, but I don’t want to tell you what it is because it’s kind of gross.
Anyway, I am just going to peel these. Once your shrimp are all shelled and deveined,
I am just going to pat them dry a little bit, and then toss them in a bowl here, and then
I’ve got my dry seasoning mix including my salt. Ok, and then I am just going to let
these sit aside for like 15 minutes to get all those seasonings absorbed and then we’ll
fry ‘em up. Alright, I’ve got my skillet pretty smoking hot here, just add a little
oil. I imagine you could do this on a grill too if you wanted to on some skewers. Ok,
yeah, see, see what I mean by smoking hot. It’s actually about to catch on fire, and
just put your shrimp in a single layer. The idea is to get them really good and charred,
and work fast because they cook really super-fast. Ok, so just until the underside has gotten
a really good crust on it, hopefully it won’t take more than about a minute. Ok, once I
can move around freely, then we can flip them over, c’mon you little ***. Ok, great,
now once everything is turned, you are going to add the garlic and habanero that I just,
I minced up as fine as I could, like super, super tiny, and some orange juice mixed with
a little lemon juice, some green onions, it smells really good, and a little splash of
tequila. Now, it smells even better. Ok, just cook it on high for maybe another 30 seconds,
kind of until that tequila smell burns off a little bit I guess, and the orange juice
is starting to thicken up, green onions are getting soft, and it’s going to be awesome.
Ok, great! Now, we don’t want to over cook them, so let’s see, I am just going to pour
these out into a different dish so that they don’t just sit there in the hot skillet
and keep cooking. Ok, now let’s make some tacos! Tacos! Talking about tacos! Alright,
I got a corn tortilla here that I just kind of heated up on the stove over the flame,
a few little scrimps, and then this is just some finely diced cucumber and radish that
I just put salt and pepper on, and a little bit of cilantro. You could also put some Cotija
cheese or avocado on these. Good, c’mere shrimps. Let’s see how you taste. Mmmmmm!
Shrimps taste good! Oh man! That is a fine taco. It would be really great grilled too.
You could do like a glaze or something with the orange and the tequila. Alright, now I
am just getting off on some crazy ideas. Ok, there you go, there’s how to make some delicious
habanero tequila orange shrimp tacos. I hope you try this recipe. If you have any questions,
leave them below and I will get to them as soon as I can. Thanks so much for watching
and have a wonderful day! See ya! I got shrimps to eat.
