Not only is it simple to prepare, but the end result is a golden-brown, crispy shrimp that’s hard to resist.

    Ingredients:
    – 2 lbs. of shrimp (peeled and deveined)
    – 1 cup all-purpose flour
    – 2 eggs
    – ¾ cup of panko bread crumbs
    – 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    – ½ teaspoon paprika
    – Salt and pepper
    – Vegetable oil for frying
    – Your favorite store bought or homemade cocktail sauce

    Instructions:

    2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in enough vegetable oil to shallow fry the shrimp. Once the oil is hot, dip each shrimp in the egg mixture and then coat evenly in the flour mixture. Place each shrimp into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Once they are done cooking, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
    3. Serve your fried shrimp with your favorite store bought or homemade cocktail sauce! I love making my own cocktail sauce with ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and some hot sauce if desired. It’s always a hit with everyone!

    Shrimp Etouffee – A Comforting Southern Meal for Busy Stay-At-Home Parents

    As a stay-at-home parent, it can be difficult to find time to make a comforting meal while still caring for the family. Enter Shrimp Etouffee, a classic Cajun dish that can be prepared in less than an hour and will fill your home with the smell of New Orleans. This dish combines succulent shrimp with a flavorful roux, vegetables and spices to create a delicious and comforting meal that will make you and your family happy.

    The ingredients for this meal are simple, yet flavorful. You’ll need two pounds of peeled and deveined shrimp, two tablespoons of olive oil, one cup of diced onion, half a cup of diced celery, one-fourth cup of diced bell pepper, two cloves of minced garlic, two tablespoons of flour, one teaspoon of paprika, one teaspoon of cayenne pepper, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, one teaspoon of thyme leaves and some salt and pepper to taste. You’ll also need two cups of chicken broth and one-fourth cup of chopped parsley to finish the dish.

    Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic and sauté until the vegetables are softened. Once the vegetables are softened add the flour and stir until it creates a thick paste. Cook for about two minutes before stirring in the paprika, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another minute before adding the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil before reducing the heat to low and simmering for about 20 minutes until it thickens slightly.

    Add the shrimp to the skillet along with the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about five minutes until the shrimp are cooked through then stir in the chopped parsley. Serve over hot cooked rice or your favorite pasta noodles.

    My family has been enjoying Shrimp Etouffee for years now; I remember my mother making it often when I was growing up. She would tell me stories about her own mother cooking this same dish when she was growing up in Louisiana, saying that no matter how far away we were from home Shrimp Etouffee always reminded her of New Orleans. Now I make Shrimp Etouffee often with my own children; I love being able to share stories from my childhood with them as we enjoy this comforting meal together.

    The story behind my favorite pork spare ribs recipe goes back to when I was a kid living in my grandparents’ house in rural Texas. My grandmother was an amazing cook who loved to feed her family, and one of her specialties was these delicious pork spare ribs. Every time she made them, they were so tender and flavorful that they melted in our mouths. The secret to her recipe was in the marinade; she used a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). This marinade would give the meat such a unique and savory flavor that we couldn’t get enough! To this day, I still make pork spare ribs using my grandmother’s marinade recipe – it’s become a staple in my home kitchen.

    3. Pour the marinade over the ribs and use your hands to coat them evenly with the sauce. Make sure each rib is fully covered with the marinade.
    4. Bake the ribs for 1 hour or until they are cooked through and tender when pierced with a fork.
    5. Once cooked through, remove from oven and let cool before slicing into individual pieces or serving whole with extra marinade as desired. Enjoy!

    As a stay at home parent I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes that my family will love! One of our favorite meals is beef fajitas – they are packed with flavor but don’t take too long to make! The best part is that everyone can customize their own fajita with their favorite toppings which makes it fun for everyone at dinner time!

    The key to making flavorful beef fajitas is marinating the steak before cooking it – this helps add some amazing flavor to the fajitas! I like to marinate my steak overnight but if you’re short on time you can marinate for at least an hour before cooking it – either way it will be delicious! Once you’ve marinated your steak it’s time to start cooking – I like to cook my vegetables first so that they have time to soften up before adding in my steak strips – this helps the flavors really meld together! Once everything is cooked it’s time to assemble your fajitas – I like to use flour tortillas but you can use whatever type of tortilla you prefer! Just fill each tortilla with your steak and veggies mixture then top them off with your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, cheese or salsa (or all of them!)

    My family loves having beef fajitas because they are always full of flavor but don’t take too much time to make! It’s also great because everyone can customize their own fajita so everyone is happy come dinner time which makes my job as a stay at home parent much easier! So next time you need an easy dinner idea give beef fajitas a try – you won’t be disappointed!
