Shrimp Tacos

I have the best neighbors.  I asked my boys what they wanted for dinner the other day, and they both requested Fish Tacos.  The Chipotle Dressing calls for cilantro.  I have some growing in the garden, but there wasn’t much.  I took it in the house, determined to make it work and then the phone rang.  It was my neighbor asking if I needed cilantro.  She had a bunch that she wouldn’t be able to use up and offered it to me, not realizing that I needed some at that exact moment!  It’s such a blessing to have neighbors like that!

Back to the tacos – I had 1 bag of Tilapia fillets in the freezer and also a bag of shrimp, so I decided to make both kinds.  I seasoned the shrimp with plenty of Old Bay Seasoning and sizzled them in a hot, iron skillet.  This time I only had romaine lettuce, instead of the slaw mix or cabbage, but it made a good substitution.

But, I’m happy to say I’ve conquered my fear with this recipe.  It was easy and delicious, which is everything I hope for in a dish.

Shrimp Scampi

I know there is only one lone shrimp to be seen in this picture, but there really are more in there.  I didn’t get the shrimp stirred into the pasta as well as I should have.  Maybe this plate should be called “shrimp skimpi”.  I adapted this from a Rachel Ray recipe.  The original called for grilling the shrimp.  I shortened it by using pre-cooked, deveined, tail-off frozen shrimp.
