Cooking at home on a regular basis has made me really creative with ingredients I have readily available to me. Not only are the dishes tasty, but I’ve become an expert in using my time wisely while at the same time avoiding any food waste. By knowing when and how to use pantry staples such as spices and condiments, you are able to transform a basic dish into something incredible.

Celebrate Taco Tuesday with Shrimp Tacos with Habanero Mustard Sauce

Take for instance these delicious shrimp tacos. Shrimp take just a few minutes to cook. When seasoned and cooked with salt, pepper and your favorite chili powder or paprika, you’ve already created the filling for your tacos. Simple. Now to elevate this dish, a sauce is a must. This quick five-ingredient sauce is full of flavor, spice and tang. The ingredient that makes this sauce so great is Miaille Dijon Originale Mustard. You can choose to make it spicy by adding a fresh habanero to the mix or keep it mild and omit. It’s just as delicious.

By topping your tacos with a bit of crunchy veggies, such as shredded jicama, carrots, cucumber, cabbage and cilantro, your tacos will be complete with flavor, color and texture. I’m a big fan of Maille products. They make great spreads, toppings and enhancers to creams and sauces.
