The inspiration for tonight's dinner was the Kogi Taco Truck in Los Angeles. Apparently they make a killer Korean BBQ beef short rib taco. I improvised and made Korean BBQ shrimp tacos using a bottled Korean BBQ sauce, but next time I'll make my own. I love making sauces but there just wasn't time in the day.
