Snacks.



The other night Hailee and KaCee came to hang while I was at work. I guess they were watching something about shrimp and Hailee really wanted some shrimp so I told them I'd cook it for her. They brought back a thirty dollar bag of shrimp!! Cool with me, right. Mike has this great cook book, that I found this shrimp recipe in it, called "5 spices, 50 dishes," and the spices are basically what comprises curry spice. It would have been amazing with fresh, not frozen, shrimp but it turned out nicely. Precooked frozen shrimp usually has a salt content in it already I thawed out the shrimp and marinated it for only like 30 minutes, shrimp doesn't take long for flavors to stick like beef or chicken. The marinade was some olive oil, lemon juice and zest, fresh parsley, cayenne, curry powder, salt, pepper and paprika(not the exact recipe, but I never do.) Then you throw it all in a hot pan with a little bit more olive oil. On medium-high heat put a lid on it so your shrimp don't dry out. Sautee them until there is no more water and a few crispy edges. Enjoi!
