Spicy Shrimp Wraps

First of all, I apologize for the lack of picture for this post! I am having some major computer issues and pictures are just NOT working right now for me! Hopefully, I will be getting a new computer in the next couple of weeks and I can get back to posting!

So, this was a super easy recipe. I had everything done in under 10 minutes! And even better, the boy liked it! :)

Ingredients:

1 8 oz. package frozen jerk shrimp (or make your own, if you aren't lazy like me)
1 chorizo sausage, casing removed
1/2 c. red pepper, thinly sliced
2 tortillas or wraps
2 c. spinach
4 tbsp. goat cheese

Directions:
Cook shrimp according to the package directions. Throw in the chorizo and red pepper with the shrimp.

While everything is cooking, lay out the tortillas and place 1 cup of spinach on each, followed by 2 tbsp. of goat cheese.

Spoon the shrimp mixture over the spinach and cheese.

Roll up the tortilla and microwave for 10 seconds to melt the cheese.

Yield: 2 very large servings

Shrimp With Sugar Snap Peas

This is actually from Saturday night, but I have been a tad busy. The boy decided at 5 pm on Saturday that he wanted to have a superbowl party. Yeah, seriously. So, follow up post on that next.

Amidst all the panic, I still made dinner. I have had my eye on this recipe for awhile. First of all, it looked really simple. Second, my boyfriend loves sugar snap peas. I served this with teriyaki rice. It was easy to make. However, it wasn't super flavorful. If I make it again, I will add some more spice - maybe some cajun seasoning, or some teriyaki sauce or something. It just needed a little more oomph.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 tbsp. butter
8 oz. fresh sugar snap peas, trimmed and strings removed
1 1/2 tbsp. minced garlic
1 lb. raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tsp. freshly grated lemon peel
2 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
Ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add peas and garlic. Cover and cook, shaking pan occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Add shrimp, lemon peel and lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until shrimp are opaque throughout (about 4 minutes).

Season with pepper and serve immediately.
