FOOD!

I know, I know... I am as competent at updating my blog as I am everything else in life. But today I have two delicioso recipes to share! First, shrimp pasta... Mmmm. No clever name for it, but I got the idea when I saw a similar recipe on Emeril.

(just to forewarn I am not gooding writing down recipes, I tend to not think all that sequentially at times, so sorry in advance, haha)

-Pasta... I used gluten-free spinach spaghetti noodles, which were amazing! But, you can use any kind of angel hair, linguine, long noodles... Cook your pasta while you start everything else... cook al dente and then let sit with some olive oil poured over it.

-Next the shrimp... mine was frozen, so I boiled it a few minutes to thaw until it was pink. I used a bag of peeled, de-veined key west shrimp. After it was pink I put in a skillet with:
-Garlic (or garlic powder)
-Half a chopped tomato
- 1/4 chopped green pepper
- and about 2 tblspn

 of lemon zest
- 2 tblspn of butter
You can add or subtract more or less of any of those... I let everything fry for a few minutes, til the shrimp was coated with all the yummy

- Then add 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to the skillet with the shrimp and such

- Add in grated pepper jack cheese (I grated almost a whole block)

- Lastly, throw the pasta in (I used an electric skillet cause it's the deepest type I have) and let everything simmer together until the cheese is melted and the pasta is more tender

MMMM.... SO GOOD!!! I served with asparagus topped with feta cheese.  :)


Now for tonight I will be having stuffed green peppers. I will just post what I am stuffing with them, since that is pretty self explanatory...
- Ground turkey
- Brown rice
- Feta cheese
- chicken broth

Mix it all up.... stuff it in the cleaned out peppers and bake for an hour (a recipe I saw said to blanch the peppers first if using green peppers)... and yay... hopefully! I will let you know :)

There... wow, I never thought I would be posting recipes anywhere. Who knew.
