Grilled Shrimp Tacos

"Which is better: Landfood or Seafood?"

One of my co-workers asked me this question a while ago and while it is a bit of an odd question to ask, it can also be somewhat of a loaded question for someone like me to answer. For one thing I am way too indecisive for my own good! Ask anyone I know; it takes me ages to decide anything. Whenever I go out to eat I have to be the last one to order and even then I struggle to make a decision. Secondly, this question is a peculiarly difficult to answer because I love ALL food! How could I possibly choose between any sort of limiting category when it comes to food?! Especially one that isn't even an equal match. 

Comparing seafood and "landfood" is like asking someone if they like watching the Discovery Channel or Netflix. They're just not on the same scale! How can you possibly choose? While I enjoy seafood and all of the different options that the ocean has to offer; so called "Landfood" is a variable smorgasbord. There's fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses, desserts and so much more! 

​I do admit that I chose "Landfood" over seafood, but let me make it clear that I still love seafood with all my heart! Fish, shrimp, crab, even squid and octopus; I like it all! It is so light and fresh and lends itself to all kinds of flavor combinations. I love a good fried catfish dinner or a crab boil with all the fixings. You can make it Italian, French, Mexican, Chinese! Seafood can be found everywhere! Even in a landlocked state like Indiana! (I do admit that seafood is best on a coast, but sometimes you have to deal with less than ideal circumstances)  

I made these Shrimp Tacos earlier this summer and they really hit to spot. The fresh flavors of the shrimp and the Homemade Grilled Pineapple Salsa were wonderful and the spiciness of the Cajun seasoning balanced the dish nicely and complimented the smokiness of the grilled crustacean. Even if you don't have a grill I recommend trying this dish! A simple pan seared shrimp would work just as well and be delicious.
