My struggle to get healthy weeknight meals on the table continues. I'm starting to wonder whether we are ever going to have an evening when all four of us are home before 7:00. With no real end to the hectic schedules in sight, I planned another weeks worth of quick dinners to feed this busy family.  I'm starting to run out of healthy recipes that I can fix in a hurry so if you have any great dinner ideas - I would love for you to share them with me. This week, I made some shrimp tacos and they definitely fit into the categories of healthy, quick and delicious.

Shrimp Tacos
Sauce:                                                           Marinade:
¼ cup fat free sour cream                        1 pound shrimp
¼ teaspoon chili powder                          3 Tablespoons orange juice
1/8 teaspoon cumin                                  2 cloves garlic
¼ teaspoon red pepper                             2 teaspoons olive oil
1/16 teaspoon cinnamon                        1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt                                                                ½ teaspoon cumin
                                                                      ¼ teaspoon red pepper
                                                                      ½ teaspoon salt
​I combined the marinade in the morning and stored it in the refrigerator. I also defrosted the frozen shrimp in the refrigerator.
​After a whirlwind day, I ran home and dumped the now defrosted shrimp into my prepared marinade.

I let the shrimp marinate for about 15 minutes while I mixed together the sauce and opened a bag of shredded cabbage.

​Once the shrimp had marinated, I poured out the marinade and put the shrimp into an empty skillet. I sauteed the shrimp until they were no longer pink.  
​I served the tacos with corn tortillas.

The best way to eat these delicious tacos is to spread a little sauce on the tortilla, top with some shredded cabbage and then add a few shrimp. It was really hard for me to stop myself from eating more than 3 tacos. They were really good. Give these a try on your next busy night and don't forget to send me your quick and healthy dinner ideas.

​Ciao!
