Shrimp Tacos

This one is really simple, and pretty good if you have the ingredients on-hand. We just threw this together tonight based on what we had in the 'frig...

Cook some shrimp however you like it - boil it, steam it, grill it, whatever. Dice some fresh spinach and roasted red peppers. Spread some goat cheese on a small flour tortilla, place three shrimp on it, sprinkle the peppers and spinach on top, and fold in half. If you don't like goat cheese, and pity on you who don't, then I suppose you could use some shredded mozzarella or cheddar. Velveeta might work, I suppose. It's good to use a sticky cheese in this taco because it keeps all the ingredients inside the tortilla.

question: i might be a little short on stuff in the fridge . . . since i don't have shrimp will imitation seastick work? i’ll assume yes . . . and since i don’t have goat cheese could i use chez wiz in a can . . . its almost the same thing . . . and instead of the small flour tortilla i plan on using hot dog rolls as substitutes . . . and i hate spinach so that’s out . . . this sounds like a great recipe! :)

Feta cheese? could work

Here's a post-modern variation inspired by Bobby Flay as seem on Iron chef. Substitute the tortilla for a whole lettuce leaf and think spring roll.

If that doesn't work, canned velveeta and imitation crab on skewer is fair game.
