I still had some sponsor product that I had received for two other events in my refrigerator so I knew I wanted to make an apple and pomegranate salsa for whatever tacos I decided to make.  A google search struck on a recipe by Nutmeg Nanny who served her salsa with Shrimp Tacos.  Perfect.

I did adapt the recipe slightly.  I seasoned my shrimp with Adobe seasoning instead of Cajun.  I used flour tortillas instead of corn.  I omitted the cheese and adapted the amounts of the ingredients in the salsa.  The tacos were quick and easy to make and delicious to eat.

These are sure to become a family favorite on Mexican Mondays, Taco Tuesdays or Fish Fridays.
