Gourmet Summer Tacos

Recipe

Hard boiled egg, asparagus, lettuce and tomato chopped up and tossed with lump crabmeat placed in a soft shell tortilla make for the perfect summer dish. Surf Shack is drawing attention with its crab Louie tacos, complete with its zesty and infamous Louie dressing drizzled on top. Available every day at Surf Shack and The Terrace at Surf Shack, this plate is a decadent combination of crab and greens with an added kick to make for a refreshing bite.

Louie Dressing

Ingredients: 2 cups heavy mayonnaise; 1 Tbsp. Sriracha sauce; ½ tsp. black pepper; ½ tsp. kosher salt; 2.5 oz. ketchup; 1.5 oz. green chiles; ½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce.

Whisk all ingredients lightly in a bowl until smooth.

Crab Louie Tacos

Ingredients: 1 80/20 flour to corn ratio tortilla; 2 oz. shredded lettuce; 1 oz. diced Roma tomato; 2 oz. chopped hard boiled egg; 2 oz. blanched and chopped asparagus; ½ oz. Louie dressing drizzled over top; 2 oz. lump crabmeat; pinch of Paul Prudhommes blackened seafood magic.

Grill tortilla over medium/high heat for 20 seconds on each side. Ideally place the tortilla on a taco stand as seen in photo but you can also place tortilla(s) in a small bowl to get them to stand up. Add ingredients in order and spread each evenly on tacos.
