Default Shrimp a la 'me'

Who said that the dishes of a health-conscious person’s must be dull-looking and taste like styrofoam? I cooked up myself a shrimp dish that looked and tasted great! But before I go on, I must mention that I used the freshest ingredients, that in my opinion made all the difference in the world. I got them at a local produce market called ‘Hillbilly’s Produce Market’. Awesome produce at very attractive price.)

Most folks would use pasta instead of potatoes. That’s cool. I’ll use that next time. This time I had some tasty new potatoes left over.

So, what went in:

1 med. yellow tomato (don’t know the name) - chopped roughly

13 jumbo shrimp (frozen, precooked)

2 med. white NEW potatoes cubed finely

Spices: Tony’s and Tobasco

Garnish: green onions

In a saute skillet (with some olive oil in it) combine tomatoes and shrimp…season to taste and let saute on med. high heat for about 7 minutes, turning shrimp over couple of times.

In the meantime microwave potatoes and cube them. Then either throw them into the skillet with tomatoes and shrimp or reserve then on your serving plate. That’s what I did. I just added the tomatoes and shrimp over the potatoes later.

It came out nice’n’spicy hot — just the way I like it! Took some pix for you, too.









BON APPETITE!

Merci - looks great. It's funny you should post a shrimp recipe just now, as I've been thinking about shrimp, particularly revisiting shrimp fra diavolo. That said, potatoes are an interesting choice - I'd generally opt for whole wheat pasta.

P.S. Love the market name.

Hey Tom, here's the Shrimp Fra Diavolo recipe I use -- from Giada at Food Network: Shrimp Fra Diavolo
