In searching for new and exciting recipes, I came across this. I love spicy and I love salsa. It includes a recipe for tomatillo salsa, which I hadn't tried before. I made a few variations to the recipe and loved it. Here's my version!
Avocado Salsa
1/2 red onion, quartered
1 jalapeno, quartered, seeds optional
1 garlic clove, minced
4 medium tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and coarsely chopped
2 small tomatoes, chopped
1 Hass avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tsp lime juice (or the juice of about 1/2 lime)
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
(I put it all in my food processor and it came out nicely.)
Shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chipotle or blended chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound medium shrimp (about 20), peeled and deveined
8 corn tortillas
2 limes, cut into wedges
Sour cream, to taste
Directions
Mix all ingredients of salsa and transfer to a bowl.
Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the shrimp on medium high heat until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
Spoon shrimp, salsa, and sour cream onto tortillas. Squeeze lime over and enjoy.
