Cajun Shrimp!


Took another run today. 2.2 miles in approximately 30 minutes. I'm feeling great, but very tired. I'm also continuing to move as the night goes on. I don't want to cramp up like yesterday. No waddles, no thank you.

Thought I'd share my dinner recipe today. Holy cow was it good!

Cajun Grilled Shrimp 

All mixed in one bowl and marinated for one hour (two would be better, but I'm short on time and hungry!): 
  • 1 lb. shrimp- peeled and de-veined 
  • 1/3 c. olive oil 
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning (your choice, no matter!) 
  • 1 handful parsley - chopped fine
  • dash of salt and pepper
On skewers after an hour: 
  • Shrimp
  • Sweet onion
  • Red bell pepper
  • Yellow bell pepper
Grill on top of aluminum foil on medium heat. Easy clean-up and fights fire that jumps up to burn your precious shrimp! Grill on each side for about 4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink. Nice and pink, but not rubbery and overdone, makes for perfect shrimp. Don't worry about the peppers and onion, I think they're better on the crispy side. Feel free to add any veggies you like to the skewers. Mushrooms would probably be good!

Enjoy!
