Favorite Irish Recipes

My favorite holiday is St. Patrick's Day. What can I say, I'm Irish. I invite friends and family over for an Irish Feast that includes many traditional- and some not so traditional- recipes. I've enjoyed adding to my recipes over the years and recently created an ebook of my Favorite Irish Recipes.

Included in the book are 9 of my most requested Irish recipes accompanied by beautiful images of Ireland, taken by me during our travels.

The ebook is only $4.99. The ebook looks terrific on a computer or tablet and has been formatted to print (use landscape mode and heavy paper).

To celebrate my first ebook I am giving away an 8x8 hardbound copy at my site Ireland with Kids. I invite you to visit my Ireland site and enter to win my Favorite Irish Recipes book.

Shrimp Tacos with Guacamole and Slaw

I seem to be featuring a lot of seafood lately. Probably because my husband does the "man cooking" (aka grilling) in the summer and I don't cook as much.

I found this Baja-Style Shrimp Tacos recipe in Family Circle and it looked delicious! My cabbage mix wasn't quite so colorful, and I didn't use prepared guacamole, but this has become an easy favorite for quick summer meals!

marinade and dressing
1/3 c cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 c fresh lime juice
1/4 c olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp pepper

tacos
1 lb cleaned medium shrimp
4 c finely shredded cole slaw mix
1 package taco-size flour tortillas (8 per package)
1 c prepared guacamole (I used half an avocado and mixed it with some fresh salsa. Yum!)

Directions
Marinade and Dressing: in a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together.

Tacos: Heat broiler to high. In medium-size bowl, combine 1/4 cup o the marinade and the shrimp. In a second medium bowl, combine remaining marinade and the cole slaw mix. Let both marinate for 10 minutes.

Transfer shrimp to a broiler pan. Broil, 2-3 inches from heat, for 6-7 minutes, turning once.

Spread a tortilla with about 2 tbsp guacamole. Top with 4-5 shrimp and 1/4 cup slaw. Repeat with all ingredients.
