Citrus Basil Rub {Shrimp Tacos}



This is a simple dish to make, it was a big hit with the entire family. It's super fresh and healthy!

Ingredients: Citrus Basil Rub (Pampered Chef), shrimp peeled and deveined, sliced green peppers, sliced red peppers, limes, onion, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and tortillas.

Directions:
#1 Wash, peel and devein shrimp. Pat dry, then put in a zip lock bag, sprinkle w/ Citrus Basil Rub. Toss around in bag and set aside.

#2 Slice up your vegetables, warm a large fry pan, pour 2 T. olive oil on heated pan, add chopped garlic, peppers and onions. Cover for about 5 minutes, remove and set aside in bowl.

#3 Add 1 T. olive oil to heated pan, stir in shrimp, cook for about 3 minutes.

#4 Put pepper/onion mix back in pan and cook for a few more minutes.

#5 Brown tortillas in pan or right on burner.

#6 Spoon shrimp and veggies onto tortilla, add a little cilantro, chunks of tomatoes and a squeeze of lime.

*Note: I used a Pampered Chef rub, but you could easily make your own w/ lemon and lime juice, onion, salt and pepper, basil, garlic or whatever you want.
