I made this tonight for my spring tacos and printed the recipe for two of our Mexican Brithers who work at the Ralph’s Supermarket in Redondo Beach, CA—their names are Sergio and Byron. I got the last jicama left in their shelf. It was a little dry, so I try to use the juicer parts. I love you Pati❤️😎❤️

Hi: I’m making this recipe tonight w/the fried shrimp tacos and am wondering if I should peel the apple.

Hello, I was inspired by this episode for 2 reasons. 1 – we love shrimp and tacos and salsa. 2 – During this Omicron outbreak going to the store for ingredients was out of the question. I was determined to use what I had on hand. This is a Mexican – Irish household – so we always have the basics, onion, garlic, chiles, tomatoes etc. We also keep 2 lb bags of shrimp on hand in the freezer.Jicama isn’t part of that list of staples. And we were completely out of seltzer water. Made a simple dredging mix of flour, baking powder and creole seasoning for dusting the shrimp and frying quickly in peanut oil. For the slaw i used 1/2 cabbage, 1 honey crisp apple, six green onions, 1/2 cucumber peeled and diced, cilantro and chopped peanuts. Dressed it with 2 T sherry vinegar, 4 T peanut oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Salsa was excellent! This is a new family favorite.

Hi Pati – I LOVE your show and watch it whenever I can. I thought I knew Mexican food, since I was born and raised in El Paso (and walked across the bridge to Juarez often). I knew Tex-Mex, but you are teaching me true Mexican. I’ve tried many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. You’re a great teacher and so personable. Thank you! Can’t wait to try this slaw.
