Spicy Baja-Style Shrimp Tacos
If you enjoy a spicy treat these Spicy Baja Style Shrimp Tacos are for you. They are the kind of easy spicy food I adored to eat during treatment to blast away at my chemo impaired palate. Marinating the shrimp in this citrusy mix of lemon zest and juice stirred into a liberal quantity of minced jalapenos, garlic and cilantro, turns these utterly simple, utterly delicious tacos into seafood a fiesta for the tastebuds. Leave them in the marinade for 20 minutes and they’ll taste even better if that’s at all possible. Hot! Hot! Hot!

This is also delicious made with Tilapia! If you want to cut down a little on the heat, deseed and devein the jalapenos before mincing.
