Recipe by Tim Byres Tim Byres's shrimp tacos are delicious with this tangy salsa, but the surprise here is the crunchy celery salad on top.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. tomatillos
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 3 clove garlic
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly black pepper
  • 1/4 c. finely chopped cilantro
  • 2 celery ribs
  • 1 1/4 lb. shrimp
  • 12 bamboo skewers
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • shredded green cabbage
  • parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, and garlic with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a blender.
  2. Boil the cooking liquid until reduced to 1/4 cup, then add it to the blender and let cool completely. Purée the salsa and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the salsa to a bowl, stir in the chopped cilantro and refrigerate until chilled, about 45 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss the celery with the lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan; oil the grill grate. Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer. Brush the shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and transfer to a platter. Serve the shrimp with the salsa, celery salad, warm tortillas, cabbage, and parsley leaves so guests can assemble their own tacos. Looking for more dinner options?
