Some days dinner is pretty much doomed from the start of the day.  One thing after another happens until you realize it’s dinner time and you have absolutely no idea what you’re going to make… and did we say it’s dinner time!

These are the days that you will be very tempted to go through the drive-thru  and purchase a few very expensive bags of food. By just having a few items on hand that are quick to prepare, you can put  a delicious meal on the table snippity snap!

So back on out of that drive-thru and make these delicious shrimp tacos for dinner tonight.

Here are the things you will need to make these delicious Shrimp Tacos:

1 pouch of  Knorr Rice Sides,  Rice Medley . 7 minutes from start to finish and this delicious rice is ready to use in these tacos!

Step 1.

–  Cook rice according to directions and keep warm.

Step 2.

–  Make the Lime Ranch Sauce

Lime Ranch Sauce

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
juice from 1/2 a small lime

Step 3.

–  Chop your lettuce and dice the fresh tomatoes

Step 4.

–  Cook the Seasoned Shrimp

Seasoned Shrimp

1-1/2 lb. of shrimp
1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning (Mccormick taco seasoning)
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 tablespoons butter

Melt olive oil and butter in a medium skillet and saute garlic.  Add shrimp and sprinkle with taco seasoning.  Stir well to combine and saute until shrimp turns pink.  This should take about 1-2 minutes.  Do not overcook as this will toughen the shrimp.

*If you love the taste of lime, drizzle lime over shrimp while cooking.

Step 5.

–  Assemble  the tacos

Heat a skillet on medium high heat and cook a flour tortilla on each side for about 30 seconds or until it starts to slightly brown.

Spoon rice down the center of tortilla and add about 3 shrimp on top of the rice.  Add lettuce and tomato; drizzle lime ranch sauce over all.
