How is everyone’s summer coming along? Boston has been super hot & humid, so we’ve been trying to stay cool. Brian and I have been finding creative ways to kill time last weekend and for some reason, we ended up at TJ Maxx, Whole Foods, and Starbucks all in the same plaza. (Can you tell we like efficiency?) Apparently, our dates now consist of random errands that are deemed “quarantine-safe,” so literally trying to do chores and such. And of course like most of our dinner dates, we ended up with ingredients for a summer recipe – shrimp tacos with peach salsa 🙂 I personally have never tried peach salsa until this. I didn’t know what to expect, but I figured since I love mango salsa, a little experimenting wouldn’t hurt, right?

Prep shrimp

• Peel and devein shrimp – Brian gave me this one honorable job since I’m not very good in the kitchen + bc he did not want to touch the “shrimp’s goo” 😛
• Season with salt and pepper to your liking
• Let sit in the fridge

Prep salsa

• Chop up onion, peach, red pepper, jalapeños, cilantro
• Squeeze lime juice all over
• Let sit in fridge for a couple of hours

Prep avocado crema

• Blend avocado, cilantro, tomatillo sauce, lime juice, roasted serrano, and sour cream
• Let sit in fridge until ready to use

Cook:

• Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes each side using a cast iron skillet
• …and you’re done! Make shrimp tacos to your liking 😛 Don’t forget the lime juice!

I’ve never had peach salsa before, and I absolutely love it. It was super refreshing and light on the tummy. Shoutout to Whole Foods for not having mangos, or we wouldn’t have experimented with peaches 🙂 Haha, super simple. Let me know how you like it and please share some of your summer recipes.

Stay cool and hydrated!
