KATE'S KITCHEN
Chipotle Shrimp Taco with Avocado Salsa Verde
Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico's 1862 victory over
the French army in the Battle of Puebla. Today, it's
widely observed in the U.S. as a celebration of
Mexican culture - and, of course, Mexican food and
drink.
Avocado Salsa:
1 sm. onion, quartered
1 jalapeno, quartered, seeds optional
1 garlic clove, smashed
4 med. tomatillos, (about 8 oz.) husked, rinsed, and
coarsely chopped
1/2 Hass avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into
chunks
1-1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 C. fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
Shrimp:
1 T. olive oil
1 tsp. chipotle or blended chili powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 lb. medium shrimp (about 20), peeled and
deveined
8 corn tortillas
8 sprigs cilantro for garnish
2 limes, cut into wedges
Directions:
Put the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor
and finely chop. Add the tomatillos, avocado, and salt
and pulse until chopped but still chunky. Transfer to a
bowl and stir in the cilantro.
Heat a stovetop or outdoor grill to medium-high. Mix
the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a
large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the
shrimp until translucent, about 2 minutes on each
side.
Grill tortillas, until slightly charred and pliable, about
20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap in a damp
paper towel and heat in a microwave.) Spoon sauce
on the tortilla, then top with about 2 or 3 shrimp and a
sprig of cilantro. Serve 2 tacos per person, with a lime
wedge on the side.

THE LAST WORD
The recent warm weather temperatures creates a
push for us to get busy building and servicing pools
and spas. It is that time of year again and we are in full
thrust creating new backyard tranquility for our
customers.
The economy is shaky and if you are like most people
travel plans are cut back a little bit. Some of our
customers are experiencing difficult economic times
and they are telling us how happy they are with their
decision to invest in their own home with a new pool
or spa to enjoy year round.
The positive feedback from our customers are a great
reinforcement of our commitment. Thank you for

hearing from you soon.
