Shrimp Cocktail

My family and I are officially back from our vacation in Cancun, MX. It was such a fun, relaxing vacation with gorgeous views. I will share more on here later. 

We ate some delicious food while in Mexico. One of the best dishes was the Shrimp Cocktail. I loved how they switched it up. 

Shrimp Cocktail is a dish I love eating at home on the back patio. It’s the perfect Spring/Summer dish. I made my own version a few weeks ago. It’s so easy and only requires a few ingredients.

Marukan Vinegar is “rice vinegar that plays an important role by adding bright, tangy notes, adding flavor to any dish, enhancing flavors of other ingredients as well as balancing sweet, salty, fatty and acidic components of a recipe”. Oxtails is a dish we grew up eating. It’s still one of the most requested dishes in our house with my family. Oxtails can be fatty, so I decided to marinate the oxtails in the Marukan Vinegar that has no sodium or sugar. As well as marinate veggies to top the dish with.

Monte Cristo Sandwich

I am not much of a sandwich eater, but there is one sandwich that is my favorite and has been for a very long time, Monte Cristo. Bennigan’s Restaurant had the best Monte Cristo.
