\nJC,s Baja Shrimp Scampi with Linguini!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1 pound linguini
\n4 tablespoons butter
\n4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
\n2 shallots, finely diced
\n2 cloves garlic, minced
\nPinch red pepper flakes, optional
\n1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
\nKosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
\n1\/2 cup dry white wine
\nJuice of 1 lemon
\n1\/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nDirections<\/strong>
\nWatch how to make this recipe.
\nFor the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.<\/p>\n

JC,s Baja Grilled Shrimp Tacos and Avocado Salsa!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

These shrimp tacos are perfect for a casual and fun summer dinner party. You can prepare most of the recipe ahead of time, then just fire up the grill and lay out all of the components for everyone help themselves. It\u2019s one of those recipes with a long list of ingredients but please don\u2019t let that discourage you; they are truly very quick and easy to make! As with all of my shrimp recipes, I recommend buying frozen shrimp labeled \u201cshell split and deveined.\u201d Most shrimp are cleaned and flash frozen shortly after being caught, so the \u201cfresh\u201d shrimp you see in the seafood case at the supermarket is typically thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long it\u2019s been sitting there, so you\u2019re better off buying frozen and defrosting it yourself. Come dinnertime, all you have to do is run it under warm water to defrost, then peel. Begin by making the avocado salsa. Combine the garlic, shallot and jalape\u00f1o pepper in a food processor and process until finely minced. For the jalape\u00f1o pepper, I like to cut the flesh off the seeds and stem, leaving the spiciest part of the pepper behind.\u00a0 Of course, if you like more heat, throw in some of the seeds. (If you touch the seeds, just be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.) Next, seed and chop the tomato and add it to the jalape\u00f1o mixture Cut a grid into the avocado, then use a soup spoon to scoop out the chunks. Add the avocado to the jalape\u00f1o mixture, along with the salt, fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine. When you taste it, you might worry it\u2019s too spicy but, rest assured, it\u2019ll be perfect combined with the shrimp and fixins in the tortilla. It\u2019s not intended to be eaten on its own like guacamole. Next, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, salt and a hint of cayenne pepper. Grill the shrimp over medium heat. The reason I use large shrimp for this recipe is so that they don\u2019t fall through the grates. If you\u2019re worried your shrimp will slip through, you can always thread them on skewers or just cook them indoors in a saute pan. Either way, be careful not to overcook them \u2014 they only need a minute or two per side. Finally, heat the tortillas on the grill or in the microwave, and assemble the tacos with all the fixins. Serve with Margaritas and enjoy!<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make the Salsa: Put the shallot, jalapeno and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped (a mini food processor is best, but large will work too). Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add chopped tomatoes, avocado, salt, lime juice and cilantro and stir to combine. Set aside. (If not using right away, place a piece of saran wrap inside the bowl and directly over salsa to prevent discoloration and refrigerate.)<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make the Shrimp: Heat grill to medium. Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper and shrimp in a large bowl. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning. Grease grill with a wad of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil or non-flammable cooking spray. Place shrimp on grill and cook until just opaque, about 1-1\/2 – 2 minutes per side. Cover to keep shrimp warm.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grill the tortillas until warm and slightly charred, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, heat tortillas in microwave according to package instructions.)<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spoon avocado salsa generously over warm tortillas, then top with 3 shrimp, red cabbage and dollops of sour cream. Serve tacos with lime wedges on the side.<\/p>\n

\nBEWARE:<\/strong> Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You don’t want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking, your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of a fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in the next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon. Come by the office here in Cabo and get all the latest up to date fishing report. http:\/\/www.jcsportfishing.com<\/a> http:\/\/youtu.be\/tSXN6pifQyQ<\/a><\/p>\n
