Nkwobi Shrimp Tacos
Nkwobi Shrimp Tacos is a recipe I developed because I was tired of all the taco options I had on my menu. I have been narrowing in this year on Ncha sauce and the endless possibilities it has. One of such possibilities is the sauce in tacos, burgers and sandwiches. The stability of the sauce
