My version of Yummy Shrimp

Ingredients;


2 pounds of raw shrimp
4 slices of bacon
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 lemon


Instructions;



fry bacon in a pan till crispy,
then remove bacon and cut it into small strips of around 5mm,
keep grease and add olive oil if there isint much grease,
saute minced garlic in the pan with the bacon grease,
clean the shrimp and remove the tails,
re-heat grease and add in shrimp with sauted garlic and juice of half a lemon,
cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked,
at the last 2 minutes of cookin add the strips of bacon,
serve in a shalow bowl or a small plate with a slice or 2 of lemon on the boarder,
lemons on the side are optional.


I love this recipe because the shrimp and garlic mix is truly amazing, then you add bacon to the equasion and its godly. If you cook it perfectly the flavors in your mouth are like a huge explosion going off, then the lemon adds a sour savour to the dish and it equalizes all the flavors.


I think that even people who dont prefer Shrimp or seafood will enjoy this dish because it brings a new group of flavors to the plate that most people have not yet tried. At first look, you might think that the diffrent groups are weird but suprisingly when combined bacon, lemon and garlic taste great together.

saffron tilapia

In a wide frying pan you fill the bottom of the pan with half butter oil and half white wine. You let it simmer on high heat then add the fish, then lower the heat. When the fish is mostly finished you take it out of the frying pan and put it in a deep pan that you can put in the oven, then you let it sit till your done cooking the sause. To cook the sauce you keep the juices that are in the frying pan and you add the same amount of salsa and clamato juice as you did wine and butter oil. You let it simmer on high heat till it thickens up a bit. When it gets a little thicker you add a pinch of saffron and mix it up. You let it simmer for another 30 seconds the you add the sauce you the talapia and you put the pan in the oven. You take it out after about 2 minutes or until its done, then you serve it.


In my opinion this is an amazing dish because the colors mix together perfectly, and it appetizing. The scente of the dish is truly amazing. The flavors of the salsa, the clamato and the saffron mix perfectly, they all complement each other. In conclusion this dish is one of my favorite recipes to cook for myself.
