Random uses of shrimp:

 

I know my pictures suck, I gotta work on that but usually the hubby is in the other room whining how starving he is so I have to hurry. I don't know how these other bloggers manage to photo their every step while cooking but I am assuming they have some help and I do not.

 

First random use of shrimp for an appetizer. I took Italian bread already seasoned and sliced that comes from Walmart and loaded it up on the one side you will see I made pizza bites and the other is shrimp, black bean, ranch, cheese and cilantro.

Simple. Sautee the shrimp with some cooking spray toss on some garlic, lemon juice and chili powder, add black beans cook until shrimp is done, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Put some ranch dressing on the bread first,  (I used light) then add the shrimp mixture. Next time I will add more ingredients to the shrimp mixture like onion, peppers, even rotel. Then sprinkle with shredded cheese of your choice and broil in the oven at like 400 until bread is crispy and cheese is melted. Keep a very good eye on it!

 

 

This is the start of scampi, didn't get a picture after all was quite done. Just put your butter in get it melty, add minced garlic sautee a bit then add shrimp and any other seasonings. When shrimp is getting close to being done sprinkle with a little flour, not a lot, stir very well. Add lemon juice and white wine until desired taste and consistency and boil up just enough to reduce liquid a little and remove immediately from heat.

I am so mad this picture was blurry because this meal was AWESOME! The shrimp was made with Asian (sesame, ginger, soy and teriyaki) flair and then the veggies I did tempura. I then took won ton pieces and cut them into strips and lightly fried them. It was oh so yummy.

I love to make home made taco salads because they are so filling and healthy. I bake the tortillas with one those special tortilla pans then sometimes I fill them with southwest style shrimp and toppings, or chicken, or beef, or shredded pork. Whatever I have on hand.

After reading that Shrimp is high in cholesterol I had to cut back, I seriously ate shrimp like 3 times a week but I will be adding more shrimp recipes to this along the way as I continue to experiment with them.
