Recipe News: Tap into citrus for tasty recipes

A recent press release from McIlhenny Co., makers of Tabasco, included several recipes involving the use of citrus fruit in winter recipes.
Enjoying citrus fruit during cold weather is a great way to peak appetites while adding an extra kick of Vitamin C to the diet.

The following recipe for Zesty Tangerine Shrimp Slaw captured my interest. Tangerines are plentiful during winter months, and who doesn't love coleslaw.

According to McIlhenny Co., Zesty Tangerine Shrimp Slaw is a tasty twist on traditional coleslaw.

The juice, peel, and delicate wedges of the tangerine create a mouthwatering flavor that compliments the crispy shredded red cabbage and lightly browned shrimp.

And the addition of original Tabasco sauce and cider vinegar balances the sweetness of the marinade.

Garnish the citrus shrimp slaw with Boston lettuce leaves and you have a deliciously beautiful winterized side salad or light lunch.
