Best Beach Shack Shrimp Tacos With Cucumber Salad Recipes
BEACH SHACK SHRIMP TACOS
Picture this--You're reclined on a beach in the Bahamas, sifting sand through your fingers and inhaling the ocean air as a sexy cabana boy approaches with your pina colada. Or maybe a gorgeous woman from the tiki bar has bought you one. A light breeze ruffles your hair as you take note of another titillating scent--spicy seasoned shrimp combined with juicy mango. "That smells awesome!" you comment to no one in particular. Cabana boy (or tiki woman) slyly produces a plate of shrimp tacos from behind their back. "Surprise!" he or she smiles seductively. "Care to join me? There's more than enough." You smile in return as they occupy the empty chair beside you. "Afterward, I'll give you a tour of my beach shack and we'll consider dessert." Not happening anytime soon? For me, either. But if you close your eyes while eating these and imagine the scenario I've laid out, it CAN, I tell you!

SHRIMP TACO SALAD
I created this main-dish salad to satisfy our family's love of shrimp. It has lots of contrasting textures, including firm taco-seasoned shrimp, crispy tortilla strips and hearty black beans. A convenient bag of salad greens cuts down on prep time, so I can have this meal ready in half an hour. -Ellen Morrell, Hazleton, Pennsylvania
