I love food y’all.
I’m not vegan or paleo or even gluten free, I’m just skinny and hungry. So I make up recipes that my children turn their noses up at , but my man goes for thirds.
I usually share my heart about Jesus and wine and my rambunctious children, but today I’d like to share my other love.
food.
Shrimp. Fajitas.
You will need:
1 lb small shrimp, peeled.
1 onion diced

seasoned salt, I use Lawrys
cilantro to taste

Directions
marinate shrimp in plastic bag with olive oil squeeze of lime juice and seasoned salt. Get serious with the salt. Let that sit for an hour, while you dice up the veggies. Throw some Olive oil in a pan and start cooking the veggies. You don’t want them mushy, so just do about ten minutes on medium. Add the shrimp , lime juice and cilantro. Saute until the shrimp is not longer pink and serve topped with black beans, sour cream, another squeeze of lime and sliced avocado on a corn tortilla. Add wine. In your glass.
