If you don’t know Dan, you should.The Food in my Beard is a never-ending stream of inspiration and food fusion lab with recipes that never cease to amaze. A real go to site for when you’re tired of making the same old thing day in and day out. I did a quick 5-minute search and lunch just popped out at me.You can find the original recipe here. I, of course, added chilis to everything but stayed true to the rest of the recipe, mostly.

Directions
Mix the slaw ingredients and allow to chill while making the rest of the recipe.
Add the sesame oil to a frying pan on medium heat and add the celery and carrot. Cook about 5 minutes.
Add in the shrimp, garlic and ginger and cook 5 minutes stirring often.
Add in the rice wine, soy sauce, honey, and chopped habanero and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the peanuts and scallions.
Meanwhile, heat up the taco shells in a hot dry frying pan or griddle. I like to splash a bit of water on the tortillas before I put them on the hot griddle so they steam just a bit. I find this helps them stay a bit more elastic
To build your tacos, first add the shrimp, then some slaw on top. Add more peanuts and scallions to finish it off.
