Steps:
- In a bowl combine 1 tablespoon of dip mix, greek yogurt, minced chives, minced garlic, lemon juice and lemon zest. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Dry shrimp with paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining dip mix. Put the beaten egg and bread crumbs mixture in separate bowls. Dip the shrimp in the egg, then dredge in the bread crumbs; transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile lay 2 provolone cheese slices on a piece of parchment paper, overlapping by half. Microwave for approximately 55 seconds. They will look bubbly and browned when done. Remove from microwave and using the parchment paper fold up the cheese to form a flat bottom taco shell. Hold this shape for about 5 seconds, set aside, whipe any oil from parchment paper and continue forming 7 more shells using remaining cheese slices.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saucepan, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Fry shrimp in batches, until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to baking sheet. When all shrimp have been fried, transfer them to the oven and bake until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- To assemble your tacos. Place a little dip sauce on bottom of cheese shell. Arrange 4 shrimp, 1/8 of the avocado slices, some chopped shallots, drizzle with dip sauce and garnish with cilantro and optional taco sauce.

CRISPY SHRIMP AND POTATOES WITH BARBECUE RANCH #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. This is a riff on one of my favorite appetizers - fried shrimp and potatoes tossed in a barbecue ranch dressing make for great party snacks! I added long hot peppers for extra heat, but you can leave those out to your liking.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, mayonnaise, and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat canola oil over medium high heat.
- In another bowl combine panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Toss shrimp in breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly coated.
- Test cooking oil by dropping a few breadcrumbs in the oil - they should sizzle without browning immediately.
- Place potato slices in oil and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Working in 2 or 3 batches, cook shrimp and long hot pepper slices together until shrimp turn pink and coating is golden brown, about 2 minutes each batch. Remove with slotted spoon to same paper towel-lined plate as potatoes and allow to drain. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp of salt.
- Place shrimp, potatoes, and peppers in a bowl and toss with barbecue ranch sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer to a plate and garnish with minced chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring 4 cups of the water and 2 teaspoons of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Slowly whisk in the grits and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and continue cooking until the grits are soft and thickened in consistency (about 20-25 minutes). Stir occasionally. Off the heat, stir in Ranch dressing, cheddar cheese and chives. Cover until ready to use.
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat on high. Add shallots, garlic, and stir. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. (Monitor closely because the garlic and shallots will burn quickly while on high heat. Adjust heat slightly if needed). Remove shrimp to plate. Add spinach, lemon, and zest to pan in this order. Stir well to coat with remaining oil and goodies left in the pan. Cook just until wilted about 2-3 minutes. Add salt and pepper if needed.
- Divide grits among 4 shallow bowls, top with spinach and then shrimp. Serve while hot.
- Serves 4.
