Quick Rick Bayless Shrimp Taco

Do you need a quick weeknight dinner idea? This is my new go-to!!! I feel like I’m cheating by using a pre-packaged sauce however, this is Rick Bayless…why mess with perfection? I’m lucky to be in the same city where I can sample the genius of Bayless’ moles and other sauces. Many of his moles take a multitude of ingredients and lots and lots of time to make. SAVE yourself. This key-lime cilantro taco skillet sauce and shrimp will have your meal on the table within 15 minutes.

Shrimp Tacos

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 poblano chili, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled deveined

1 pouch Frontera sauce
