"Oh citrus (swimsuits and food) in the summertime is unbeatable!"

Citrus Shrimp Tacos are my favorite BBQ food...

Shrimp and Marinade
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño chiles
1clove garlic, finely chopped
1lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined

Let the shrimp sit in the marinade in the refrigerator for 1 hr. Then put on skewers and grill.

Cucumber Salsa Fresca
2 roma tomatoes, seeded, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño chiles
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 English (seedless) cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix the salsa ingredients together in a bowl while shrimp marinates.
Once shrimp are grilled assemble with salsa onto a taco.
I then add a sauce I randomly threw together once with cilantro, avocado, sour cream, lime, and cotijo. I really need to measure it out sometime so I have a recipe.

And...I have to follow almost every meal up with dessert. My favorite is Key Lime Pie with Graham Cracker Crust. Quite a task to make, but definitely worth it.

7 whole large eggs
3 cans sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. key lime juice (fresh preferred)
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 TBS unsalted butter, melted
Directions

Combine crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of a 12-inch springform pan. Bake at 350º F. for 5-7 minutes. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the eggs and mix at low speed until the eggs are fully incorporated. Add the key lime juice and mix again at low speed until well mixed. Place whipped mixture into the springform pan. Bake at 250º F. for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until set. Let fully cool before slicing. Garnish with whipped cream.

NEXT STEP... PIG OUT!
