Got Shrimp?

We love to grill shrimp, I toss it with some olive oil and garlic, and then sprinkle with some cajun seasoning before grilling, and I'll make it with veggies and string it on kabob sticks and serve with brown rice or cous cous for a complete meal.

I always just make stir fry because its easy, lol

I make cajun shrimp. If the kids don't like spicy you can pull theirs before adding the second dash of cajun seasoning.

Ingredients:
Shrimp
Brown Rice
Celery
Green Bell Pepper
Onion
Cajun Seasoning
Diced Tomatoes in can w/ garlic and basil
olive oil or butter
salt
1/4 cup skim milk

1. Rinse and peel shrimp.
2. Chop celery, onions, and bell pepper into bite sized pieces.
3. Melt butter into pan or heat up olive oil into pan on the stovetop at medium heat.
4. Sautee the veggies in the pan until the onions carmelize a bit.
5. Add a dash of salt and cajun seasoning (1-2 tsp).
6. Turn down the heat slightly and add the milk.
7. Cook the shrimp over the veggies.
8. Prepare the brown rice.
9. Once the shrimp turn pink and are cooked thoroughly, remove the kids' portion.
10. Add more cajun seasoning (can add Tobasco and/or cayenne if you need more heat.)
11. Stir tomatoes into the cooked brown rice (add as much or as little as you like.)
12. Serve the cajun shrimp over the rice.

I also do shrimp a la vodka every once and a while. Super easy!

Buy vodka sauce from the store (check the spagetti sauce aisle, Bertolli's has a good one.)

Sautee the shrimp in a large pan on the stovetop at medium heat using 2 tbsp of butter or 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper (can add other Italian seasonings if you want.)

Make brown rice or wheat pasta while shrimp are cooking.

Once the shrimp are pink and cooked throughly, use a napkin to wipe the pan to remove excess butter and/or oil.

Add vodka sauce to the pan with the shrimp. Allow to simmer until hot.

Serve over rice or pasta.

"Anyway, like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That--that's about it."
