When I moved back home seven months ago, my middle brother
Albert did not hesitate for one second to make fun of me.
Not one second.
Well my friends, guess who else is back at home after
finishing his college career?
That’s right.
Albert.
Who I haven’t lived with in seven years. And while I love him
very much, had no intention of EVER living with him again.
The down side of having Albert in the house, other than the
fact he monopolizes the television in the living room, is that there is another
mouth to feed. Which means another critic.
The upside of having him? Two more hands in the kitchen.
And for your information, all critics in the kitchen loved
these fajitas.
You will need…
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 teaspoons olive oil
¾ lb shrimp, cleaned and deveined (without tails if you are an
over achiever)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
Juice of ½ lime
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper
Tortillas for serving
In a very heavy skillet, combine the onions, peppers, and 2
teaspoons olive oil. Toss the mix well together and cook, tossing occasionally until
the onions are caramelized. About 20 minutes.
While the onions are caramelizing, combine the shrimp with the
garlic, chili powder and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large frying pan on high heat and add the remaining oil.
When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side
until cooked through.
Combine the shrimp with the cooked onions and peppers.
Add the juice and the cilantro, toss well and serve.
One week in and I haven’t killed Albert yet. Give it time.
Love and Beer Floats
