Cookin' Cajun....

Ooooie!  I made a yummilicious 10 minute meal tonite that I will definitely be eating on a regular basis, especially once the weather cools off.


Saute some garlic, onion, celery and peppers in a tinch  of olive oil.  This didn't take long because I like my veggies crunchy.  I used a leftover orange pepper tonite.  Of course I added salt & pepper.



Add in some thawed okra & continue to stir.  Yum Yum.



Add in one can of fire roasted tomatoes.



Add in creole seasoning to taste.  I like things spicy & research has proven that spicy hot foods actually increase your metabolism because your body has to work to cool off.



Time for the shrimp to dive in.  I hate it when people overcook shrimp.  I turned off the burner once I added the shrimp and they quickly cooked in the hot broth.  Only cook them until they turn pink.  They should NOT have texture like a pencil eraser!!



Done and slap yo mamma good.  I actually had enough for leftovers tomorrow minus the shrimp.  I love the variety of veggies and their amazing colors.  This recipe is extremely low calorie and is very satisfying.  Let the good times roll, bebe!!!
