There’s this Holiday coming up tomorrow called Cinco De Mayo. Here’s a little interesting fact, most people from Mexico do not celebrate this! I found this out when me and my best friend Becca went on a girls trip a few years back to Mexico over Cinco De Mayo. We were all excited, thinking there would be this big party at the resort we were staying on May 5. NOPE. We asked a couple of the bartenders working at the resort, and they just laughed. They said only people from the United States celebrate Cinco De Mayo, huh, go figure!

So there you go, a little fun fact. I guess we just like to celebrate any Holiday (even if it’s not), because it gives us a reason to get together with friends, eat great food, and enjoy tasty beverages… wait we need a Holiday for that?! 🙂

Ok who’s ready for Baja Shrimp Tacos?!

If you are using frozen Shrimp, make sure you thaw them out before making this. I like to thaw mine in a bowl of cold water, switching the water out every 10 minutes until they are thawed. They are usually thawed in 20-30 minutes.

Now I had bought Shrimp with the tails on, because they were on sale. I mean who doesn’t like a good deal right?! Once my Shrimp were thawed, I peeled an deveined them before cooking. I don’t mind doing a little extra work if it saves me $$$. 🙂

Once the Shrimp is thawed go ahead and start marinading them. While they are marinading you can start making the Salsa!

So once you have the Salsa all prepped and ready to go, you can cook the Shrimp!

I simply added the Shrimp and all of the marinade to my pan and sautéed them over med-high heat for about 5 minutes until the Shrimp was pink and cooked all the way through.

To make this Gluten Free, I used Corn Tortillas. I just heated them up in the microwave for 15 seconds to get them nice and warm.

Then I added the Salsa and topped it with the Shrimp!

Wowza! I was in Foodie Nirvana eating this!
