Shrimp has always been one of my favorite foods. It doesn't matter how you cook it, I'll eat it. I've been known to ask for shrimp for my birthday dinner. Boiled, fried, cocktail---all of the options are good enough in my book. As I've grown older, I've found I rarely have time to pick up… Continue reading Chili Lime Shrimp & Rice

Chile Garlic Shrimp
I've been dying to find new shrimp recipes. I love shrimp. I adore it. Shrimp was my favorite food growing up. When my mom would ask me what I wanted for my birthday dinner, half the time it was some form of shrimp or seafood. Shrimp was always a fancy, but not too fancy form… Continue reading Chile Garlic Shrimp
Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade
My grill pan and I have a love-hate relationship. I love it because I'm able to get some great grill marks on things like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. I had it because I almost always set my smoke alarm off when I cook with it. It doesn't matter if my ventahood is going at… Continue reading Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade
Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
The television stations in Oklahoma City are on the northeastern outskirts of town. They're situated in the city limits, but in a very rural portion of the city. It's also a strange part of town in terms of geography. Across the street from my station is a herd of cows. Drive 2 minutes down the… Continue reading Shrimp Tacos with Ranch Corn
Jambalaya Stuffed Peppers
Happy Mardi Gras! Every year I try to remember to make some Cajun food for the holiday and every year I forget. Not this year! We went all out this weekend with boudin and King Cake. I even picked up a giant andouille sausage to have for today. I know those aren't the classiest Cajun… Continue reading Jambalaya Stuffed Peppers
Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
That's a lot of alliteration right there in the title. Shrimp. Scampi. Spaghetti. Squash. I swear it was unintentional. It just happened. I just had a spaghetti squash ready to go the other day and shrimp scampi sounded like the perfect meal to make with it. I love that buttery, garlicky dish. It's so rich… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you look through ANY food boards on Pinterest, you'll be inundated with copycat 'bang bang' shrimp recipes. What is that, you ask? Well---I actually don't know. I've never even had bang bang shrimp before from any of the restaurants claiming to serve it. Even though I've never tried it, my mouth still waters everytime… Continue reading Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Happy 4th of July! This is the 10th holiday in a row I've had to work. I'm not complaining, though. Not only do I get holiday pay (yipee!) but I'm not really a fan of smaller holidays like this one. I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Pesto Shrimp & Roasted Tomatoes Pasta
We're in for a doozy today. It's severe weather season in Oklahoma, and it definitely feels like. There's a mugginess in the air that's only felt this time of year. The National Weather Service has put out outlook maps for today and the tornado potential. I love this time of year, but it's always a… Continue reading Pesto Shrimp & Roasted Tomatoes Pasta
Cajun Shrimp Caesar Salad
Hola, from the land of the living! It's been radio silence on my end lately, and for that I apologize. I've been busy with work, and most importantly--I TOOK A VACATION! A mini-vacation, but hey, it still counts. Rob and I hit the road and snuck to the Land of Enchantment for a few days… Continue reading Cajun Shrimp Caesar Salad
