March 24th: Cajun shrimp

I can't for the life of me figure out why this shrimp tastes so incredibly good. It has 5 ingredients, comes together in 10 minutes and tastes like the best thing I have eaten all week. It must be that perfect blend of butter and spice, combined with fresh, perfectly-cooked shrimp, whetted with appetite, equals perfection. Confession: I even used store-bought garlic butter rather than take the time to mince a garlic clove, even though I already had to mince a garlic clove for my salad dressing. Here it is, from March 2010's Chatelaine: Cajun shrimp. Shrimp + red pepper + butter, garlic, Cajun spice + green onions = one delicious supper.

 

The magazine recommends eating this with rice and salad, which Olivia and I did. Great supper. Bring on the weekend.
