Shrimp tacos!



Recommended Posts

I made some delicious shrimp tacos tonight and wanted to share the recipe with you all.

4 ounces raw shelled deveined shrimp

1 tbs onion

1/4 tsp butter

1 tsp shredded cheese

1 tsp guacamole or plain avocado

1 tsp sour cream

6 inch tortilla of your preference

A wedge of lime or lemon

Sauté onion and butter until soft then add in shrimp and sauté until shrimp is cooked through. Toast tortilla in dry nonstick pan. Layer all ingredients on tortilla, shrimp then cheese then the rest, and top with a squeeze of citrus.

Delish! And my fitness pal clocks it at around 250 calories and 22 grams Protein for one taco.

Enjoy!

I'm not a fan of shrimp but you are so lucky to eat tortillas, I can't even handle a single bite -__- what's your secret?

I live in Texas, so I get them fresh, still hot off the maker at the store, and chew really well. I think them being super fresh helps a lot. I've tried the pre packaged ones and cannot do that myself either.

I've gone to like Mexican restaurants that advertise fresh (I'm in so cal as well so we have our share of Mexican food as well), but no matter how I try I can't do it. And it never ends well for me -__- last time I had it, I threw up like 3 times until finally the offending piece came up

How big a bite are you taking? I usually eat bites no bigger than my thumb nail, and I like my tacos very moist with sour cream guac etc, then I chew at least 30 seconds before swallowing, even have a timer.I think for me the fresh ones break up smaller, where the pre packaged ones don't even with all the chewing. Don't know if you might try it again or not. I should also mention I am a month out and only one fill in, but still definitely in my green zone as far as restriction.

Ah I'm 4 months in and 3 fills I'm very restricted. I think tortillas are just a trigger food for me. It's like how some people have problems with beef but I can handle it fine. After the first fill, I gut stuck on a tortilla but it went down on its own like 5 min later, then I didn't attempt it again, until a few weeks ago, and there was just no way it was going down

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
