Shrimp Tacos (and other unsettling things)

1. Shrimp Taco

At the request of a reader, I will give a more in depth review of the Shrimp Taco from Taco Bell.

 I really hoped I would never have to use this picture again

Imagine, if you would, a normal soft shelled taco from Taco Bell. Not the greatest thing in the world, but its pretty hard to mess up beef, cheese, and lettuce in a tortilla. Now we are going to take the best parts of that concoction (the beef and cheese), and get those the hell out of there. Now we are left with questionable lettuce in a bland and often dried out tortilla. 

Week old iceberg lettuce isn't enough veggies though, so lets get some diced tomatoes on there, and make sure they are halfway to rotten. 

Alright, now that we have the soggy vegetables covered, lets move on to the meat. Now, Taco Bell isn't know for using choice meat, which is fine for simple fair like ground beef. Seafood? Not so much. Damn things are so rubbery I wanted to use them to tread my RC car*.

And now for the finishing touch. Taco Bell is well known for providing sauces (mild, hot, and the hilariously overstated fire) for customers to garnish their entrees with. They are pretty good, basic sauces. However, instead of simply letting the customer put one of these perfectly acceptable sauces on themselves, they decided it would be a good idea to pre-slather this sucker with the better sauce's sickening afterbirth. 

*I don't own and RC car...but damnit now I want one.
