This weekend I was prepared to cook - I planned my meals, shopped accordingly and felt inspired to create some healthy meals.
Inspired by recipes at Goop (http://www.goop.com/newsletter/86/en/), Gwyneth Paltrow's fabulous blog (thanks Patricia for hooking me up!), I thought Baja Shrimp Tacos would be a refreshing and light summer meal. Then Ohio weather set in.....
As I began making the fresh pico de gallo, the sky got darker. Then as my shrimp were marinating in the lime juice, it began to sprinkle. Of course, the minute I was ready to grill the shrimp, it began to pour. Not to be deterred, I proceeded with my plan and made the tacos anyway.
Despite grilling in a thundershower, my shrimp tacos with homemade, fresh pico do gallo tasted great. They just would have tasted better on a hot, sunny day.
(Note: I wasn't pleased with the blue corn tortilla's - that's the last time I take some advice from a stranger in Whole Foods.)
