We created the recipe for Nkwobi Shrimp Tacos because we were sick of everything we could have tacoed for dinner. This year, we have focused more on Ncha sauce and all of its potential. Taco, burger, and sandwich sauces are among these options. The main challenge is keeping the sauce stable as a creamy emulsion so that it doesn’t become a greasy mess on your plate. However, the flavour of the Ncha sauce is still quite strong.
Additionally, I believe that a protein’s flavour will mix better with Ncha sauce the milder it is.
