Because I never made it here during the week. Hey, taking four classes is rough.
First, a little about the Garlic Lemon Shrimp. This actually went in a different direction that I expected it to. I got a little crazy, and after cooking the shrimp in EVOO, garlic, and seasoning it with salt and pepper, I added a ton (like two very juicy lemons worth) of lemon juice and some white wine. I let it cook like that for a few minutes and added some heavy cream (bad, I know). When all was said and done I served it over rice, and it was delicious.
The Chicken Quesadillas turned out great too. I guess you really can't screw up quesadillas, but I'd never made one from scratch. At least not one with more than cheese in it. I cooked up a few chicken breasts and shredded them. Then I mixed some taco seasonings with the chicken. (Note: I just tossed the spices with the chicken. I didn't cook them with water or anything.) I spread shredded cheddar cheese over half of a large, somewhat thicker tortilla, added a layer of chicken, more cheese, and some taco sauce, and folded the empty half over the top. I sprayed a skillet with cooking spray and threw in the quesadilla, flipping halfway through. These were served with Taco Rice, which has officially become one of my favorite foods.
Finally, the "Jambalaya". Was it Jambalaya? Who knows, but here is how it went...
Kielbasa and garlic in EVOO.
Toss in some shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns pink.
After the shrimp is cooked, add some vegetables. I went with green peppers and onions.
Pour in some rice and enough chicken broth to cook the rice in. Cover the skillet and let steam until the rice is done.
It will look a little like this.
Finally, add a can of diced tomatoes and any spices desired. I went with salt, pepper, white pepper, paprika, and some red pepper flakes.
(Honestly, I added some of those spices to the shrimp and kielbasa before this point. I just forgot until now. Choose your own adventure!)
This is what you end up with, and it was very, very good.
