Pillsbury
Kristine Snyder's shrimp tacos were inspired
by a good shrimp cocktail.
Kristine Snyder of Kihei has made the finals in the 50th anniversary Pillsbury BAKE-OFF contest. She'll be preparing her original recipe in a cook-off against 99 other finalists (she'll be at Range No. 97) in the national competition that begins Saturday in San Francisco.
The winners will be announced Tuesday after a marathon of cooking and judging. Grand prize is a whopping $1 million.
Snyder is a harpist who performs for weddings and parties on Maui. Her shrimp taco dish is entered in the category of Easy Weeknight Meals. "It's too warm on Maui to spend much time over a hot stove."
Her recipe follows.
Recipes had to include at least one Pillsbury product. Snyder uses taco seasonings, shells and salsa from Pillsbury's Old El Paso line.
Combine sour cream, cucumber and 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix. In a separate bowl toss avocados and lime juice. Set aside.
Combine shrimp and remaining taco seasoning.
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook 3-5 minutes or until pink. Spoon into shells and top with sour cream, avocados, salsa and cilantro. Serves 12.
