Anyone who knows me knows that I hate all things fishy and seafood based.  Can't stand the stuff. 


I made this for dinner last night.


Yup.


I did.


It was amazing.  I am trying with shrimp first and seeing if I can't finally start to stomach this crap I mean food.  It will make Husband quite happy I think if I can finally order something other than chicken or beef or pork on any given menu! And I really want to try fish tacos.  I am not sure why but I really want to.  I found this recipe on tastespotting and thought why not! Let's try it and I was pleasantly surprised.  I was not good with timing and so I overcooked it but the taste was awesome and I will make this again.  Thank you skinny taste for this recipe! You might make a seafood lover/liker out of me yet! Go check out the websites.  There are awesome recipes!
