shrimp and lettuce "tacos"

Improvisation,

This is what happens when you think you have the ingredients to make shrimp tacos and you don't.

I thought I had flour tortillas. I didn't.

I thought I had salsa. I didn't.

I thought I had tomatoes. I didn't.

I thought I had black beans. I didn't.

But I did have shrimp (well, that's a good start if you want to make shrimp tacos Carrie!), and I did have rice, and I did have an avocado, and a mango, and some cilantro, and some iceberg lettuce, and some sour cream, and some canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

And that was enough for me to make something to eat for dinner.

So I did.

Step one: boil some white rice.

Step two: boil/sautee/grill/whatever you prefer some shrimp.

Step three: mash up an avocado.

Step four: chop up a mango.

Step five: pull some leaves off a head of lettuce.

Step six: mix a little of the sauce from the peppers into some sour cream.

       *Please note: this picture is not mine, but I wanted to post it so you would know what these look like. 

         And if you like Hot stuff, you will Love this! I love putting a little of the sauce into different things. 

         It adds a nice, smoky, spicy flavor.

When everything is ready, all that's left to do is assemble your shrimp & lettuce "tacos"

Lettuce, then rice, then shrimp, drizzled with some of the adobo-chipotle-sour cream, then topped with mango, avocado and cilantro.

Yum!!!!

I swear I'll have more pictures next time.
