Looks like a good effort. Were you able to impart a nice flavor on the shrimp by roasting them? What did you season with?

Kind of crumble on top. Its a soft dry cheese if that makes sense.

Yes, that makes sense. I think I got it confused with another one.

Holy shite!!!!

I just had two tacos for lunch, un-fricking-believable!!!

I got to hand it to Rohan2Reed, the corn puree sauce makes the taco!!!

The entire taco consisted of pico (I jazzed it up a little), oven roasted shrimp (salt pepper olive oil), lettuce, cheese, corn tortilla, and the corn puree'.

If you decide to make some, make the corn puree the night before, the taco is 1000x better today. Everything was cold except the tortilla.

The corn puree looks great.

I'm a relatively new fan of roasting shrimp. Have been doing it about a year. It's a great way to prepare them for other dishes when you might ordinarily boil them. No fuss. No muss. I'm roasting 5 lbs tonight or tomorrow for a huge shrimp salad.

Take sour cream and add the following

sauteed poblano peppers (1 pepper per 16 oz of sour cream)Remember to let them cool.

once folded together add cilantro and chopped fresh jalapenos salt and pepper to taste.

This spread is is the tits on most any tacos and sandwiches.

I just looked for it at Harvest, they didn't have it or any type of crumbled Queso

It can be tough to find. I know at the Rouses I go to it's only found in a little display in the middle of the deli section.

I personally don't care for queso fresco on shrimp or fish tacos, but it goes really well with steak and especially spicy pork.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking that it could be hard to find in LA.
