Woman Cannot Live on Salad Alone

A special thanks to my readers for helping me reach 1,000 page views!  For a girl with an excess of imagination my recent kitchen endeavors sure have been low on creativity.  Day after day, bowl after bowl...of the green stuff?  Who are you?  I've been forced to ask myself.  Surely not the culinista I once knew.  Perhaps it's the snowy, slushy weather but I've decided that this week I am cooking.  Every day!

Today I reinvented one of my favorite appetizers, honey lime shrimp, as a fajita dish.  Enjoy.

Tequila Lime Fajitas

1 cup shrimp (peeled and deveined)

1 lime

1 tbsp tequila

1 tsp honey

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

white onion

1/4 a red bell pepper

a dash of salt

black pepper

3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

Simmer vegetables and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until vegetables are tender.  Add the fresh squeezed juice of one lime, tequila and honey.  Add shrimp and cook until opaque.  Season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.  Warm tortillas in a fry pan and serve filled with shrimp mixture, jack cheese, guacamole and pico de gallo.
