Easy Shrimp Tacos image

I love preparing these easy-to-make shrimp tacos. Hatch chiles are a staple ingredient in my home state of Texas, and this was the very first recipe that I conquered with them. Mix and match your favorite toppings-salsa and avocado would be perfect additions. -Deborah Jamison, Austin, Texas

SHRIMP PATTY SANDWICHES

Shrimp Patty Sandwiches image

Quite often when we eat at a restaurant, my husband will try something and tell me that I could make it better at home. That was the case with this shrimp patty. It had very few shrimp and needed more flavor. I made some improvements and now it's one my husband's favorites. - Tina Jacobs, Hurlock, Maryland
