Dinner Tonight: Shrimp and Grit Tacos

Shrimp and Grits, a southern staple is updated as street food in these tacos

I was looking for dinner ideas for the week and stumbled across this article at Serious Eats. Now as you all should know if you've been visiting this site for any length of time, I LOVE grits. One of the things that has stuck with me from my time spent in the south (along with a love for sweet tea, bourbon, and gulf shrimp). Shrimp and Grits would be dinner every Friday night in my house if I didn't have this website to write (and my kids didn't revolt at the mention of shrimp). This new way of changing it up by adding salsa and serving it in a taco caught my attention, and I am glad it did.

Dinner Time - Authentic Cochinita Pibil (Spicy Mexican Pulled Pork) Tacos

Pork shoulder was on sale this week, so I picked up a 4 pound boneless cut. I was looking for something new to try, and came across this recipe for a traditional mexican pork dish. The balance of the bright citrus from stewing the pork in the orange juice for 8 hours combined with the nice traditional spice that the achiote paste brings was amazing. The salsa paired with it very nice, and allowed for each of us to adjust the heat to our own tastes. Topped with Cotijo cheese they were a great light summer dinner. You'll love this one, and it makes enough to feed a large group.
