GARLIC SHRIMP TACOS (INSPIRED BY SURF TACO)
These flavorful tacos are inspired by the Jersey shore's own Surf Taco restaurants, where I order the original version practically once a week. The homemade ones are even fresher and more flavorful. Hope you love them.

Steps:
- First, marinate the shrimp. Place peeled, cleaned, defrosted shrimp in a medium bowl and toss together with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit while you prepare the other elements of the tacos.
- Start the cabbage next so it has a chance to marry with the salt and lime juice before serving. Cut a small green cabbage in half from the top through the core, then cut one of the halves in half again. Remove the core from one quarter and very thinly slice the cabbage. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and lime juice. Toss with your hands, rubbing a bit to help the salt and lime juice tenderize the cabbage.
- To make the cilantro sauce, mince the garlic and then use the side of a chef's knife to smash the salt and garlic together into a paste. In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic-salt paste, and pepper. When well combined, gently stir in the chopped cilantro.
- To make the pico de gallo, stir together the tomatoes, red onion, salt, and olive oil in a small bowl.
- Heat the tablespoon of safflower oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until opaque, about one minute per side.
- Bring ingredients to the table and let everyone assemble their own tacos, or plate by filling each tortilla with some shrimp, cabbage, pico de gallo and a drizzle of cilantro sauce.

Steps:

- Heat a large dry frying pan to medium-hot. Add the quartered tomatoes, garlic, and árbol chiles to toast.
- Toast the chiles for 30 seconds on each side and then remove from the pan.
- Toast the garlic for 2 more minutes then remove from the pan.
- Continue to toast the tomatoes until they blacken.
- Add all of the ingredients except the oil to your blender and blend for 1 minute.
- In the same frying pan that you toasted the tomatoes, garlic and chiles heat the 2 tablespoons of oil to high heat.
- Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cook the salsa for 10 minutes.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into the bowl with the cabbage.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Mix thoroughly so that all of the cabbage is coated with vinegar and salt.
- Set aside until you are ready to serve your tacos. Stir just before serving.
- If your shrimp come with the shells, remove the shells and discard.
- Devein the shrimp by making an incision lengthwise along the back of the shrimp and gently remove the black vein with the tip of a knife.
- Finely chop the garlic.
- Preheat a large frying pan to medium-hot. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring 3 times so that the garlic doesn't burn.

If the shrimp is a pinkish white throughout it is fully cooked. If there are still translucent spots the shrimp needs to be cooked more. Cook for 1 more minute and then check for doneness again.
