Baja Shrimp Tacos #Recipe Peg Cochran/Margaret Loudon

 

These tacos were a fun spin on the tacos we usually make.  I made a few changes to accommodate what I had on hand.  I didn't have any ancho chili powder so I used regular chili powder.  I also didn't have almond flour so I omitted it.  For the slaw, I used a bag of Cole slaw mix, which worked just fine.  I used all the suggested toppings and added avocado since I had a ripe one on hand.  I put all the "fixings" out on the table and let everyone help themselves to what they wanted.  They were a big hit!

Shrimp:

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and cooked

½ tsp ancho chili powder

½ tsp pepper

1/3 cup almond flour

1 TBL cooking oil of choice

 

Either cook the shrimp or buy pre-cooked shrimp. If necessary, pat them dry

Mix the ancho chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and almond flour together    

 

 

Add the shrimp and mix to coat  

 

Heat oil in a skillet until shimmering.  Add shrimp and cook until warm and coating is starting to turn golden.  

 

Slaw:

1 cup shredded green cabbage 

1/2 cup matchstick carrots

3/4 cup shredded red cabbage

Mix cabbage and carrots in a bowl.  Add ¾ of the sauce

Weddings are murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran!

The cranberry bogs at Sassamanash Farms have never looked more festive than when Monica’s half-brother celebrates his wedding there. It’s a genuinely joyous occasion, and even greeting a strange assortment of guests and witnessing a heated argument can’t spoil Monica’s mood. But that all changes when one of the guests is found murdered at the reception—and then one of Monica’s employees is accused of doing the deed to get his hands on the dead woman’s money.

It doesn’t take long for Monica to discover that the victim had amassed her fortune by marrying a very wealthy—and very ill—older man. What’s more, the old man’s daughters despised the scheming, gold-digging woman, and thought the inheritance money should have been theirs. That seems like motive enough for murder, but Monica suspects there’s more to this case than simple greed. With her employee in hot water and time running out, Monica will have to act fast to catch the killer, before a case that started with a family wedding ends with her own funeral . ..
