A proposito di questo titolo

 Taco night just got a major upgrade. If you’re a fan of tacos, crunchy textures, and just the right amount of heat, you’re going to love my grilled shrimp tacos. They’re topped with a zesty jicama lime slaw and a drizzled with a smoky chipotle lime crema sauce. It’s a fiesta in every bite. And easily doable on a weeknight. Let’s Talk Jicama If you haven’t cooked with jicama before it’s time to get acquainted. This root vegetable, often called the “Mexican potato,” has a crisp texture similar to a water chestnut and a mildly sweet refreshing flavor. It is the perfect choice for adding crunch to salads, slaws, and, of course, tacos. Plus it’s low in calories and packed with fiber and vitamin C. Talk about a win-win. Jicama’s crunch factor is what makes this salad so irresistible. And it’s tossed with lime zest, lime juice, diced jalapeño, and cilantro. This tangy, spicy transformed jicama pairs beautifully with the succulent grilled shrimp. The contrast of textures – juicy shrimp and crisp jicama – is pure magic. Chipotle Lime Crema Chipotles are smoked, dried jalapeños that pack a smoky heat that is an addicting and satisfying flavor in this sauce. The base for the sauce is crema, a dairy product that is widely used in Mexican and Central American cuisine. Crema has a rich, tangy flavor but is milder and less acidic than sour cream and has a slightly thinner, more pourable consistency. Mexican crema is made by combining heavy cream with buttermilk, then allowing it to ferment slightly at room temperature. Blend the crema with chipotles, lime juice, a clove of fresh garlic, and white wine vinegar. It’s a zesty kick of flavor you will want to find other uses for in your kitchen. Grilled Shrimp Shrimp are one of those versatile proteins that cook up in a flash and soak up flavors like a sponge. Whether you’re grilling, sautéing, or frying, shrimp are always a great source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
