Tacos de Camarón (Shrimp Tacos)

Tacos de Camarón (Shrimp Tacos)

One of my favorite places on Earth is the Most Magical Place on Earth, the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. And my favorite park at the resort is EPCOT. With a multitude of countries represented in the World Showcase, it is a foodie's paradise! For this recipe, we are entering the World Showcase and turning left into the Mexico Pavilion. Upon entering the pavilion, we quickly come to La Cantina de San Angel. At this location, you can choose from many entrées ranging from nachos to tacos. For me, I'm going to choose tacos! Specifically, Tacos de Camarón, or shrimp tacos. This recipe is inspired by that delicious option at EPCOT.

World Showcase Movie Series

World Showcase Movie Series

As a huge fan and frequent guest at the Walt Disney World Resort in central Florida, I was quite broken hearted when the gates closed on March 15, 2020. The months following brought news of Cast Member layoffs and when they reopened in July that year, there remained unanswered questions about when all of the magic would return. Stage shows, parades, and night time extravaganzas were all indefinitely postponed or completely canceled. Since I was not able to visit the most Magical Place on Earth between March and September in 2020 (the first time I went after the reopening), I had to find new ways to enjoy the magic at home. Thankfully, just before the pandemic took over the world, Disney+ was introduced. So, one of the ways I could enjoy the magic at home was what I call the World Showcase Movie Series!

Japan Pavilion Pagoda

My favorite pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT theme park is by far Japan. One of the great aspects of the pavilion is the architecture. The pagoda was the inspiration behind this painting.

Gateway to the Future

My favorite pavilion at EPCOT in the Walt Disney World Resort is by far the Japan Pavilion. They have a Torii Gate there where you can see Spaceship Earth (the big ball). I love this scene and just had to paint it.
