Happy Monday Everyone!! :) It was an absoultely gorgeous day outside today here in Sac. It didn't start out that way though...it was overcast and very cool. Around noon the sun broke through....so I decided to go to lunch someplace different, instead of just warming up a Lean Cusiune and eatting it at my desk. I'm glad I decided to get away from the office, and go someplace I haven't been to in a long time---it was a VERY nice change of pace.
Speaking of food...:) I wanted to show you some Shrimp quesidillas I made the other night. They are pretty easy...I screwed up one part ---see if you can spot my mistake?
Yes!! A test!!!
First I dumped a pound of shrimp into a large saute pan and added tub of fresh mild salsa (1-1/2cups or so) a 1/2 cup of Italian salad dressing, a cup or so of red onions and some fresh cilantro. I sauted it for about 3-4 mins then transferred it to a bowl. If you don't want to make quesidillas...in my opinion I think this shrimp (with the sauce) would taste great over some jasmine rice :) Don't you think?
K...see my mistake yet??? no? (catch up!--jk)
Wipe the saute pan you just cooked the shrimp in and spray it with some oil, and add one of those large flavored flour wrap tortillas. (I used a Garlic Spinach one.) Sprinkle some grated mexican cheese on it --heat on medium.
Spoon some of the shrimp on one half of the tortilla....and fold it over when it's golden brown.
Remove from pan and add some shredded lettuce and some more fresh cilantro and some fresh lemon or lime juice if you want...
Cut into wedges and serve :) SEE? Very easy.
Ok, my mistake was I forgot to remove the tails from the shrimp!!! :( I know duh...so anyway, I had to do that before I spooned them into the tortilla :P
Ok That's it! Have a great Monday everyone...I'm off to jump in the spa to soak for a bit. :) do I hear an awwwwwwwww...nice and hot, ya it is :)
My kind of living!

Posted by: Erikie the parikie on August 2, 2004 10:40 PMmmmm those look so yummy! Hey, I used to have a bowl like that only in pink....I don't know what ever happened to it. :( The closest IKEA is in Emmeryville, and it's huge. Bring a truck! :P
Tracy...I prolly bought your pink bowl :) I have alot of these Texas Ware bowls.
Someday I'll make the trek out to Ikea. But you know? A friend said I would probably have a panic attack in the store...since it's pretty overwhelming (clostrophobic) and I hate that feeling. :(
