Sriracha Shrimp Tacos

Sriracha Shrimp Tacos

Have you ever eaten out at a restaurant and wished that you could re-create that delicious meal at home? Me too. And one of those dishes for me, is shrimp Tacos. I have never even tried to make shrimp tacos at home… until now! These Sriracha Shrimp Tacos from Home Chef will make you think that you are eating a restaurant-style meal.

You have probably heard of the types of companies that pre-measure and send you just the specific ingredients for a meal. But is the food any good? Is it costing me extra for this service? Will the recipe be too hard to follow? We are going to answer all of those questions for you.

Go to the Home Chef website to sign up. It is so easy, simply pick the meals that you want, how many meals you want to receive per week, and enter in any dietary restrictions so you never receive a meal that you won’t be able to eat.

Your meals arrive in a regular box, but there is a thick, padded cooler lining the box with cold packs on the bottom, so if you live in a warm climate, you don’t have to worry about the food going bad in the heat.

Each meal is labeled and packed separately so you know exactly what items go with which meal.

There is also a step-by-step meal preparation sheet for each meal, which is hole-punched and fits nicely into the recipe binder that they send as well.

Let’s get started!

Gather all the ingredients that you will need for this meal (except for olive oil, salt, and pepper):

Raw shrimp, cleaned and tails removed
Lime
Roma Tomato
White Rice
Mayonnaise
Sriracha
Egg Whites
Breading
Flour Tortillas
Slaw Mix

As you can see, these are all fresh, raw ingredients. That is one of the big reasons why the meal tastes so good, you are not warming up prepared, processed food, you are actually cooking a homemade meal from scratch. So there is a bit of prep-time involved. I would say that it took me about 1 hour from start to finish to make this meal. Hand-breading the shrimp was a little bit time-consuming!

Prepare the ingredients

The direction sheet is very detailed and walks you through the entire dinner:

zest and half the lime, quarter one half and juice the other half
dice the tomato
rinse shrimp, pat dry, season with salt and pepper

Now on to the cooking part!

Cook the rice, according to the directions. When cooked, add lime zest to rice. Combine mayonnaise with sriracha (add just a few drops at a time until you get to the desired heat level), season with salt and pepper to taste.

This pre-measured meal contained slaw mix, which you can buy, or just make your own using regular cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots. Dress the slaw with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Set up a little station to bread the shrimp: Egg whites in a bowl, dip and shake off excess, dip into breading, then place in medium heat pan with olive oil. The shrimp will only need a few minutes on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

*Here’s a quick tip when warming the tortilla shells:

Place tortilla shell directly on wire rack in oven and fold the edges down. As the shell heats up, it will take that shape… and you will have a taco shell that will stand and hold it’s shape!

Plate your meal

Finally, you are ready to plate your meal. Now, you can enjoy a delicious, gourmet dinner, without the expensive price tag to go along with it! Each of the dinners cost less than $10! When was the last time you went out to a fancy restaurant and paid less than $10 for a gourmet meal?? Probably never… but now you can!
