Spicy Shrimp Tacos w/ Pineapple Salsa and Remoulade Sauce + Holiday Fun

Since I'm still in a bit of a food coma from indulging in a few too many holiday delights, I wanted something light and low cal for lunch. So I decided to go with these fabulous Shrimp Tacos. Cest bon! A friend brought over 10 lbs of shrimp to boil, for the party, and I had about a pound left that I had stashed in the fridge when no one was looking. So easy and when I tell you that they're out of this world, then you know that I mean it, cher! Enjoy!
  
1 lb. cooked shrimp
8 (8 inch soft taco size flour tortillas)
Pineapple salsa (recipe below)
Shredded lettuce
Fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeno slices for garnish
Remoulade sauce


Wrap tortillas in foil,   and warm in a 325 degree oven, for 10 minutes. Add lettuce, cooked shrimp, pineapple salsa, and top with cilantro,  jalapenos, and a little remoulade sauce.

Holiday Fun

It was a great holiday weekend, here in Cajun country, and after our BBQ, we all went down to to the  annual Red, White, and Boom celebration in downtown Lafayette. The Acadiana Symphony played a beautiful Fourth of July concert at Parc International.


Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Stomp Band also entertained the huge crowd with their highly seasoned Zydeco music. More than a few hardy souls were dancing in nitty- gritty, Zydeco mode. It was hot, but there was a light breeze and an excitement in the air!


We were in dire need of refreshment, by this time, so we walked across to Agave Cantina and had a round of frozen margaritas before the  fireworks. It was a great celebration, honoring our freedom and those who have fought for it. How did you celebrate the Fourth?



I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of my new followers. So happy to have you along and I'll be around to visit ya'll soon. Wishing all of you a wonderful week. Merci beaucoup for stopping by!
