Got good recipes??

[jayelleseven]

I got a couple online but buying a cook book isnt best since most of the things in there I doubt ill even try!

So yeah, I will be cooking a lot more (going to college)

I need some good ass recipes, all types of food as long as they dont end up giving me a heart attack or look like they will haha.


As you can see, I am already training to avoid all types of bad foods:

Most of my cooking is grilling, but here's a recipe that is very easy and will impress.

Easy shrimp scampi:

As much uncooked frozen or fresh shrimp as you want (say 1/2 lb or so)
Butter
Olive oil (optional)
2 cloves of fresh garlic
2-3 scallions (green onions)
a lemon
parsley (optional)

Prep the shrimp by thawing in lukewarm water and devein / detail. Chop the garlic very fine. wash and cut the scallions into fine slices (1/8-1/4"). In a 10-12" skillet, melt a half stick of butter and 2 tbsp olive oil (if you don't use the olive oil watch that your butter doesn't burn). Toss in the shrimp, garlic, and scallions and cook the shrimp until pink (opaque). Just before serving, grate some lemon rind (zest) about 1tsp. in and toss in some chopped parsley. If you have a little leftover dry white wine you can add a 1/4 cup for flavor, salt to taste.

Serve with pasta or rice of your choosing (they have that microwaveable rice in a bag now).

about 15-20 minutes total time.

yummy!

applesauce for fruit

[Phelan]

Cajun Beggar Rice
1 part wild rice pilaf
3 parts parboiled rice
red, green, yellow and orange bell pepper sliced
red and white onion sliced
king cotton cajun sausage sliced
tony chachery's creole seasoning
olive oil/butter

after slicing the onions/peppers put them in a pan, sprinkle on some creole seasoning and saute them in olive oil or butter till the onions are starting to lightly brown. set aside in container for mixing.

saute the sausage as well, but with less oil (just enough to keep it from sticking till some cooks out of the sausage) and afterwards drain and rinse the sausage with hot water. too much fat/oil will cause faster spoilage.

bring the appropriate amount water to boil for cooking the rice, put in rice and add creole seasoning to taste (better to go with too little than too much) and stir well to mix it all together. when finished cooking put it in the container with the onions/peppers/sausage and mix carefully so as to not mash the rice. taste and if needed add extra creole seasoning and stir again.

recipe scales easily from feeding 25 to 500.
